Can't get CGI var REMOTE_USER via req.getRemoteUser()

Tomcat developers

Apache 1.3.26 using AuthType Basic
Tomcat 4.1.18 using jk

The following statement worked 3.x, but not 4.1.18

  String REMOTE_USER = req.getRemoteUser();

The value returned is always "null" which indicates 
a non-autheticated user. However, apache correctly 
gives me a login screen. 

This application was recently ported to 4.1.18.

Anyone have any ideas as to where to look?

David

PS req is a reference to HttpServletRequest.

I'm sorry.
"JkEnvSet" should be "JkEnvVar".

Try the following:

(1)  add "JkEnvSet REMOTE_USER %{REMOTE_USER}" to httpd.conf
(2)  get REMOTE_USER via req.getAttribute("REMOTE_USER")
