mod_auth_cas should work the same on both Windows and Unix.  Depending on 
language/platform, some form of getRemoteUser should work.

Are you using a Java stack behind Apache, possibly with mod_jk or mod_proxy_ajp 
?  Some (all?) Java application servers have a special parameter to recognize 
authentication performed outside of the Java app server, at the Apache layer.  
For those based on Tomcat, that parameter is called "tomcatAuthentication", and 
it needs to be to "false" to recognize Apache's authentication:

Subject: mod_auth_cas - Getting Remote User
 
I implemented the MOD_CAUTH_CAS and it works as expected. One question
is, once the authentication is done and apache forwarding the request to
another app server on URL matching, how do I get the remote user there?
Is the request.getRemoteUser()   gets me the CAS user??  

 

I have multiple App Servers on which I only do Authorization taking the
user form the request since each request coming from apache
(Mod_Auth_Cas now and earlier Oracle SSO) is already authenticated. So
no CAS clients on App Servers.  So I need to fetch the user form the
request. Can somebody help in this regard?

 

Thanks

Srikar.
