I have a situation where htpasswd access is being used to authenticate
user access to a particular URL by apache.
Once authenticated, apache processes the relevant URL which is
actually a pass-off to Tomcat. What I need to do is get hold of the
now-authenticated user-name (i.e. the user name apache has just
allowed through) and be able to attach that username to the POST now
being sent to Tomcat.
Normally this would be accessible using the REMOTE_USER environment
variable. I assume that these are also accessible from with a java
class run by tomcat.
Cheers,
John
