iPlanet and Tomcat integration on solaris

[Peter Cline]

I am trying to integrate iPlanet 4.1 and Tomcat 4.1.24 on a Solaris 8.  I 
have had some level of success but have encountered some very frustrating 
problems.

I have searched extensively for documentattion that might help me but have 
come up empty handed.

My biggest problems rghts now are
a) The remoteUser is not being passed from iPlanet to Tomcat.  My JSPS are 
reading the remoteUser using the request.getRemoteUser() method.  I am 
using the RequestDumperValve to see what is being passed to Tomcat.  The 
remoteUser value is invariably set to "null".  I looked at the source code 
for the version of nsapi_connector.so that I built from 
jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.24.src.  It looks to be assigning to 
remoteUser the value of auth-user in the request->vars pblock.  this value 
is definitely set in that pblock.  Not sure why it doesn't get set in the 
request sent to Tomcat
b) On many requests for jsps, tomcat returns a jasper exception which says 
"oracle/jdbc/pool/OracleDataSource"  I am assuming it is not finding this 
class.  I have this class in an archive in the applications WEB_INF/lib 
directory.  This archive is a .zip file.  Does anyone know if the classpath 
that Tomcat dynamically builds for applications looks for .zip 
files?  Perhaps it is only looking for .jar archives?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
