Subject: JK + client authentication: getRemoteUser() returns null


I'm using 
Windows XP 
Apache 2.0.44 
OpenSSL 0.9.7a 
mod_jk-2.0.43.dll 
Tomcat 4.1.18 
I've followed the instructions at http://www.johnturner.com/howto/winxp-howto.html to 
set up Apache and Tomcat using JK, with authentication using client certificates.
Everything seems to be working fine, except request.getRemoteUser() is returning null. 
(The REMOTE_USER is shown from a CGI script, so authentication is working.)
The only reference I can find to this problem is in /tomcat-docs/config/jk.html: 
setting the tomcatAuthentication attribute when using 
org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.Ajp13Connector, but since this connector doesn't appear in my 
server.xml, it doesn't seem to be relevant. (It does seem to be relevant for Tomcat 
4.0.6, but I'd rather not have to try dropping back to there.)
Before I post voluminous config files, am I missing something obvious? 
Thanks.
