Tomcat 6 getRemoteUser() returns null
Hi,
We have to retrieve the userid of the remote user when
the user logs on. But request.getRemoteUser() is
returning null in Tomcat 6. Authentication is done
through LDAP.
It works fine in Tomcat 5 and 4.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Natalie

Thank you for all the help.
It is a configuration problem.
I use apache and webauth to do the authentication.
in tomcat server.xml, I need to set
tomcatAuthentication="false" which I did not do it.
<Connector protocol="AJP/1.3" port="..." ...
tomcatAuthentication="false" />
Thanks,
Natalie

Tomcat version?
Java version?
OS and version?
LDAP and version?
Errors in logs?
Extracts from relevant configuration files?
Have you tried this with a simple test case? Ie a single html file and a
resource constraint? Does the same test work if you use the memory realm?

After the user logs in, is the user being redirected to another resource
or is the user being forwarded?
Also are you using some Web Framework?

This me be an issue with the Web Framework your application might by using.
Try the following code:
String r = request.getRemoteUser();
if (r == null)
{
java.security.Principal pr = request.getUserPrincipal();
if (pr != null){
r = pr.getName();
}
}
