RE: IIS + Tomcat 5.0 + NT authentication AUTH_USER

See if request.getHeader("Authorization") gives you anything. That is what I have been using with IIS and Tomcat 4.X. The data is Base64 encoded, but I have some code to grab the username and password from that if you need it.

Subject: IIS + Tomcat 5.0 + NT authentication AUTH_USER


Hi,
 
I'm using
Tomcat 5.0.16
connector-jk-2.0.2-win32-iis
IIS 5.0

Currently my application is running under IIS + ColdFusion(Jrun), but will be migrating to a IIS/Tomcat server.  Since this is an intranet application on an NT network, where it is a requirement to have the users not have to implicitly logon, I am using NT authentication with IIS.  In other words, for the virtual directory, I have set the Anonomous access off, and Integrated Windows Authenticated on.

In the IIS + ColdFusion setup, my servlet does a
request.getHeader("AUTH_USER"); and this returns the domain/userid of the person logged into the client machine. Then I can verify the user is allowed to use the application. All is well.

However, in the IIS + Tomcat setup,
getHeader("AUTH_USER") is returning null. I have
tried other header keys and get null also.

Also, I am sure IIS is authenticating the user, since
I cannot get to the application using a browser that
doesn't support the windows authentication.

So, it appears, for some reason, the connector is not
setting the AUTH_USER header when it transfers to the
Tomcat container.

Does anyone know how I can fix this so it does, or if
there is anything I might be doing wrong.

Thanks in advance,
Jason
