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.
