            Bug ID: 63556
           Summary: Mark request as forwarded in
                    RemoteIpValve/RemoteIpFilter
           Product: Tomcat 9
           Version: 9.0.x
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: micha...@apache.org
  Target Milestone: -----

In some situations you'd like to know from a component whether your request has
been forwarded by a reverse proxy.

A real life usecase:

HTTPd => Tomcat; Tomcat does auth, logs in access.log => HTTPd => logs in
access.log, REMOTE_USER is empty. Logs are inconsistent.

If this flag is set AuthenticatorBase can check this and write
request#getRemoteUser() + auth method to the response headers which HTTPd can
picked up and make access.log consistent.

This is required by: 62496

A PR is in preparation.
