How to authenticate under Apache HTTP server and pass information
to Tomcat ? 2004-06-02 - By Lanto Randriamiharisoa

Hi all,
I have a little question about using mod_jk2 with Tomcat (4.1.30) and
the Apache Http Server (2.0.29)
My Tomcat Webapp requires user authentication for retrievie some
information (a servlet needs to know the user name logged on), this
authentication must be done on the Apache HTTP Server. So to do this,
I've added the following in the httpd.conf :
<Location /sitools>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Your username"
AuthUserFile "E:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/passwd/passwords"
AuthGroupFile "E:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/passwd/groups"
Require group students
</Location>
So since now, the authentication is served by Apache, and it's only
after this process that my servlet is called
I've commented all directives about user authentication in the web.xml
(such as <security-constraint> , <login-config> and <security-role>)
And, of course... :-/, I encountered some problems : my servlet is
unable to retrieve the username.
How can I do to pass the authentication information collected by Apache
Server to my servlet (or Tomcat) ?
Thanks a lot,
