Hi list,
We have a site where Apache is authenticating the users, thus setting the REMOTE_USER variable and then forwarding the request to Tomcat 5.0.30 via mod_jk 1.2.6. The application deployed on tomcat is configured (in web.xml) to require BASIC authentication for users who connect directly to tomcat via the HTTP connector. We have set the attribute tomcatAuthentication="false", but this seems to have no effect on the Coyote Connector. As a result, the users are prompted twice for their credentials when they go via the Apache/Ajp route.
Previously, using Tomcat4 and Ajp13Connector, this worked and Tomcat accepted Apache's authentication. Now the Ajp13Connector seems to no longer be supported and the CoyoteConnector, with seemingly identical settings, behaves differently. Because of the system architecture, we need to allow both authentication via Apache and also internally through Tomcat.
Best,
Seth
