BUG IN TOMCAT ??? request.getRemoteUser() always returns null after
authentication

I just came across an anomaly when using Tomcat :

In the first case, I am using Apache with Weblogic as a servlet engine and
the radius authentication module (similar to .htacess authentication)
I call  http://localhost/secure/index.jsp , apache prompts me for username
and password, and once they are correct, the index.jsp page is displayed
(served by weblogic).
The request.getRemoteUser() method returns the username entered in the
prompt.

In the seconde case, I am using Apache with Tomcat as servlet engine and the
radius authentication module
Everything is the same as above, except that request.getRemoteUser() always
returns null

Any clues ? Is this a bug ? An open bug ? Is it in mod_jk or in Tomcat or
Apache ?

Thanks
