Hi all, I was hoping someone here could confirm a suspicion of mine, as I've been unable to uncover a definitive answer searching other forums (web, javasoft forum, mailing list archives).
I've setup Apache web server to perform basic auth against a webapp directory in tomcat. I'm using the jk connector to forward certain contexts and jsp requests to Tomcat. The authentication works as expected. However, the REMOTE_USER (via request.getRemoteUser() method) environment variable returns null when I try to access it from Tomcat. That variable, however, is populated when I inspect it with the printenv cgi-script running in Apache. Is this simply because Apache and Tomcat are two separate containers and don't share that environment info? Or am I doing something wrong? I suspect what I'm trying to do isn't possible, but I'd really appreciate someone confirming this for me. Thanks for your time, Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
