Ok, here's something I don't understand. I've connected my apache and tomcat 
using mod_jk
in my httpd.conf I wrote 
SetEnv REMOTE_USER xxx
PassEnv REMOTE_USER

and then in tomcat I just wrote a file 

<% out.print (request.getAttribute("REMOTE_USER")); %> and well enough, I got 
xxx printed on the page

now, I installed a module for authentication in apache, wrote a small php file 
that prints out all the headers and I got a big list among which REMOTE_USER 
had the value equal to the username. But now, in tomcat, the same small file 
doesn't return anything even though REMOTE_USER has a value and in httpd.conf I 
left the PassEnv REMOTE_USER line.

So where's the catch? If I set the environment and pass it, tomcat sees it, if 
it's set by the authentication module and I just pass it, tomcat doesn't see 
it. anybody knows why?
