Hi, > I have a Apache Http Server, this apache is my front end and protects > some resource on my AppServer.
> To protect I use .htaccess and mod_auth.. > So I would like to know how is it possible to configure Apache to send > some informations about the authenticated user to my AppServer ? > Is it possible to add some values to the http header before that the > mod_jk or mod_wl forward the request to my AppServer ? what is 'some information' ? the only information available by default is the username; this appears usually in the REMOTE_USER var; if Tomcat is your AppServer then there ships a sample /examples/jsp/snp/snoop.jsp and that shows the remote user properly if I'm authenticated - which shows that mod_jk provides this information properly to at least Tomcat (not tried yet Jetty, or others). take a look at the snoop.jsp sample and try to implement the call used there in your AppServer.
