Hi,

Well, that (moving the OAM LoadModule before the other LoadModules) didn't make 
any difference.  It still doesn't work (not authenticate into Tomcat, 
remote_user string not populated in AJP buffer).

I think that, at this point, my valve, which does work ok, is probably the only 
alternative?

Thanks again for hanging in there with me on this!

Jim
