So I have Apache 2 passing on requests to Tomcat 4.1 using jk2. I

forums but no resolution. I am not sure if I need some addtional
configuration steps (what I am using is pretty minimal), or is there
nothing to be done about it short of diving into Apache or Tomcat
code?
I'm using Apache 1, Tomcat 4.0, and mod_jk. On my JK connector tag as
defined in server.xml, I had to add the attribute
tomcatAuthentication=false to get the user ID (via getRemoteUser) to
be available in Tomcat. Don't know if this is an issue with your
(somewhat different) setup.
That certainly seems to be an attribute I will need eventually to be aware
of, so thanks for pointing it out.
For the record though it seemed my original problem was rather due to my
Java code (in some way I have not yet got to the bottom of). On
simplifiying it ,I managed to get the user id through OK regardless. Guess
I just noticed earlier poisting and jumped to conclusions.
