cannot get Remote User

I'm running Apache + Tomcat (latest versions), mod_jk2, and Apache is 
using SSL.

I have some password protected pages, using normal Apache directives. 
However, my JSP pages are unable to get the rmote username : 
request.getRemoteUser() always returns "null", and the the browser does 
ask for login/password before displaying the page.

Any ideas?

I had added the attribute some weeks ago. Some kind soul over here 
commented it out and did not inform. My falut, I did not check it before.

I'm assuming that you've set:
request.tomcatAuthentication=false

in your jk2.properties file.
