RE: Tomcat 3.3.1: AJP13, tomcatAuthentication, and javax.servlet .http.HttpServerRequest.isUserInRole(java.lang.String userName)

[Larry Isaacs <La...@sas.com>]

With "tomcatAuthentication='false'", I'm not aware of any way
to attach a role to the externally authenticated user.  You
will have to implement your own "role" handling.

Also, if you are using IIS, I believe you will need IIS 5.0
and mod_jk from jakarta-tomcat-connectors for
HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser() to work successfully.
Otherwise it always return null.

Cheers,
Larry
