In this case, why not simply use (mini test jsp):
User: <%=request.getRemoteUser()%>
:)
Honestly: mod_jk forwards quote some information apache has to tomcat,
because mod_jk knows it's a reverse proxy situation. Besides the SSL
info mentioned on the apache page of mod_jk reference guide, there is
auth_type and remote_user. remote_user maps to request.getRemoteUser()
in the servlet API.
Of course you can extend this by forwarding arbitrary apache environment
variables via JkEnv to get them as request attributes on the tomcat
side, but for the remote_user this should be not necessary.
I hope this works for you (Peter).

I'm doing user authentication on the apache server and forward then to

Until recently that was all but now I need to pass the user name to the
tomcat server as well. Is there any way to do this?
You're looking for JkEnvVar. Check out the "Java/Tomcat/mod_jk
Integration" section on this page (or just search for JkEnvVar):
http://webauth.stanford.edu/manual/mod/mod_webauth.html
This page is documentation for mod_webauth, but their config example
should be appropriate for any type of auth module.
To any mod_jk authors reading this, it might be helpful to flesh-out the
description and examples for the use of JkEnvVar on
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/apache.html. Maybe
just another example (plus how to get that information from the request
on the Java side) would be helpful.
