Thanks again for the reply. I do already have the tomcatAuthentication="false" setting as you stated below and I had tried the getRemoteUse() from the HttpRequestServlet but that unfortunately did not work unless I did something wrong.
I will try again but I do not think that is working. Again, I appreciate the time and help. Regards. awarnier wrote: > > Ok then.
