Again, the http connector is *not* what you need to edit, if you want to combine Tomcat with mod_jk or mod_proxy_ajp. It is the AJP connector. See my previous mail.

You need to add tomcatAuthentication="false" to that connector.

I seem to get it, Rainer. But the thing is that with my installed tomcat-5.5.12 version and I do not have any already tomcatAuthentication directive (if I call it that way). Okay I get you want me to "add", so this is what I edited the server.xml now 

    <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->

    <!--

    <Connector port="64083" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"

               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"

               enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"

               acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"

               clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

    -->

    <!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->

    <Connector port="64089"

               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="64083"

               tomcatAuthentication="false" protocol="AJP/1.3" />

    <!-- Define a Proxied HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8082 -->

               enableLookups="false" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000"

               proxyPort="80" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

After editing the change in the ajp connector, and restarting the tomcat, I still am not able to get the remote_user variable passed.

I am using the following jsp installed under webapps/jsp-examples/readheaders.jsp to have the environment variables listed but with out any success..

--------

<%@ page language="java" %>

<%@ page import="java.util.Enumeration" %>

<h2>HTTP Request Headers</h2>

 <table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2">  <tr>    <th>Name</th>   <th>Value</th>  </tr>

<% // Get all HTTP request headers names/values

  Enumeration e1 = request.getHeaderNames();

  while (e1.hasMoreElements())  {

        boolean doLoop = true;

        String name = ((String)e1.nextElement()).toUpperCase();

                Enumeration e2 = request.getHeaders(name);

                while (e2.hasMoreElements())    {

                String value = (String)e2.nextElement();

                %>

 <tr>

  <td class=gray><%= name %></td>

  <td class=gray><%= value %></td>

 </tr>

<%

    }

   }

%>

Any suggestions?  (Although I am still to try out the Tomcat6,  but would prefer for fixing the existing installation unless there are any real problems in the tomcat version that I am using.

Thanks,
