I have a situation where my users will be logging into their pages on an IIS 5 web server, which authenticates them with their user ID and password as configured in IIS. This works fine.

Now I need to add some new functionality to the web site that will be using my tomcat webapp, and I don't want them to have to authenticate again in my app, so I'm trying to figure out how to pass the user ID from the web page on IIS, to my webapp. I thought request.getRemoteUser() would do it, but that's returning null, rather than the loggged-in user ID.

You need to specify what you use to forward requests from IIS to Tomcat.
If you are using Isapi_Redirect, then set the attribute "tomcatAuthentication" to false in the Tomcat AJP <Connector> (in server.xml).
