By default, tomcat ignores the REMOTE_USER header from Apache or IIS in favor if it's own authentication. To get tomcat to accept the IIS authentication info, add this attribute to the <Connector/> element in server.xml:

tomcatAuthentication="false"

Subject: Getting LOGON_USER from the header


Hello
I have configured IIS 5.1 to redirect all jsp files to Tomcat 5.5 using the isapi redirect dll. This seems to be working well and configured correctly.

Now I am trying to get the LOGON_USER from the header. I want the windows id of the user that is hitting my web page. I am developing an Intranet site and want to do seamless login based on who the user logged into their windows machine. I know I can do this by using the command request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") in ASP. I also was able to get request.getHeader("LOGON_USER") to work with IIS 5.1 and JRun 4 (using the dll they provide).

Does anyone know how I can get this information using Tomcat? I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks
Rob J.
