What do you expect to be the value of the 'REMOTE_USER' variable? Do you
expoect something else, than what you get from request.getRemoteUser()? What

Precisely. I also need the httpd environment variable REMOTE_USER also
passed to the tomcat .... I have this in my httpd.conf ... and I am reading
all the environment variables(apart from the headers) in the jsp but have
these values set to null... am I missing anything specific with these
directives?
SetHandler jakarta-servlet
RequestHeader set X_REMOTE_USER %{RU}e
SetEnv SET_REMOTE_USER %{REMOTE_USER}e
JkEnvVar JK_REMOTE_USER %{remoteUser}e
As far as I know, REMOTE_USER is a *http header* of the request, added
automatically by the browser if the user is authenticated. And as all
http request headers, it is always passed on to Tomcat.
At the Tomcat level, you can retrieve it like any other http header (I
don't remember the precise way).
But this has nothing to do with "environment values".
In other words, you do not really need to mess around with environment
values in Apache/Tomcat (like above), just retrieve the corresponding
http header, it should already be there.
No ?
