getRemoteUser() returns null despite access privileges

           Summary: getRemoteUser() returns null despite access privileges
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.19
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jonas@primesounds.com


I'm having intermittent trouble with getRemoteUser() method.

It appears after I login using form-login (have not tried other ways of login), 
at first I am allowed access to the restricted pages and the method correctly 
returns my username. But after a while the method returns null despite I am 
still able to access the restricted pages. This happens after a few requests at 
most 5-10 minutes. So it shouldnt be a that the sessioned timed out.

After a fresh restart it works again.
