remote_user problem

hello!

i am using Apache 2.0.59 and tomcat 5.5.23 with mod_jk2.0.4 on Xp PRO.

The problem is that i use apache authentication and that the remote_user 
that is returned to tomcat is null when i authenticate correctly.

This is how i authenticate the users (part of httpd.conf file):

<Location /test/>
      AuthType Basic
      AuthName "Test LOGIN"
      AuthUserFile C:/Apache2/user.db
      require valid-user
</Location>


This is the configuration of server.xml (tomcat file):
   <!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->

   <Connector port="8009"
              enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3"
              request.tomcatAuthentication="false" />


Any ideas how will i be able to pass the username that the user enters to 
remote_user?

Thanks anyway!
