This nice way is: request.getRemoteUser(). However, this doesn't seem to work with mod_webapp, I haven't figured out why and no one had an explanation when I asked. I'm using an ugly base64 decode as a work around until I get another connector working. getRemoteUser() does seem to work (from what others have posted) with jk if you put the following in the connector part of you server.xml
tomcatAuthentication="false" I haven't figured out what relation coyote has to all this, related to jk, competitor, etc. Seems to be different than mod_webapp. Lloyd > -----Original Message----- > From: Donie Kelly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 3:35 PM > To: 'Tomcat Users List' > Subject: RE: Getting USERNAME/PASSWORD from HTTP headers > > > That's grand but I then have to base64 decode the result.
