Authorisation using basic http auth. under tomcat with apache and mod_jk?

[Roberts Huw <hu...@capco.com>]

Hi all,

I am having a problem with the response to request.getRemoteUser() returning
null.
I'm using tomcat 3_3-m1 and I'm pretty sure I've got mod_jk.conf and
httpd.conf
set up okay.  Apache knows (the evidence is in access_log) that the user is
set up and
authorised, but in my servlet, getRemoteUser is returning null.  Do I have
to have an
ajp13 connection configured in order to use getRemoteUser?

Any bright ideas?  I've checked the mail lists, and none of the obvious
answer are
obviously helpful.

Thanks,
Huw
