Hi, I just found
http://serverfault.com/questions/207301/get-the-authenticated-user-under-apache which suggests: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} (.+) RewriteRule . - [E=RU:%1] RequestHeader set X-Remote-User "%{RU}e" env=RU And that exactly does the trick.

Hi, I'm trying to put httpd as reverse-proxy in front of a third party java application (running in tomcat) to handle authentication in httpd. The thirdparty app claims to be able to accept the user (that is authenticated before it hits the app) via http header (I can configure the http variable where the username is stored.) Is it possible to pass the username via http_header using httpd? Out of the box I only found authorization which is base64 encoded username:password Thanks!
