Add the following to jk2.properties....
request.tomcatAuthentication=false
That tells Tomcat to take its authentication information from the jk or jk2 connector which gets it from Apache.

I'm having some difficulty making the getRemoteUser() method work. It's possible I have missed the point of this method, but I'll explain what I'm trying to do anyway.
I'm using mod_jk to map the url /lemons to a servlet which is running on Tomcat 1.4.27. I've got mod_jk set up okay and the mapping works fine:
JkMount /lemons ajp13
I have then set up a Limit directive in my apache configuration for the url, thus:
<Location /lemons> <Limit GET PUT POST> require user dave </Limit> </Location>
This works as expected. If I go to this url I am prompted for a username and password. If I enter dave and the correct password then the request is passed through to my servlet. If I enter an incorrect username and password I get our server's authentication/authorization failed page and it doesn't get anywhere near the servlet.
Within my servlet I then want to use getRemoteUser() method of the HttpServletRequest object to obtain the username which was supplied. Whenever I try this though, it always returns null. The request does contain an authorization header, but I can't seem to get a username out of it.
Any ideas please? (If I need to RTFM, please point me in the right direction.)
Thanks, Dave
