We are running Apache behind an F5 fronting JAVA Container (WebSphere) and the JAVA code makes an HttpServletRequest.getRemoteAddr() request to get IP. The IP I am told is the one that the CGI REMOTE_ADDR server parameter of Apache provides, but when I try to log that value to see what it is, I get null. I am under the impression that there is no setting to turn on, but that it should work. I will note that the Apache I am running is the IBM Version, known as IBM Http Server. I have asked the my team to look at using X-Forwarded-User, but how would I set it up so that the query for IP returns that, or do we ask the JAVA Developer to change the Code to support checking for X-Forwarded-User, NOT getRemoteAddr?
