Hi All, I have several web applications running on distinct tomcat instances. Apache httpd is in front of all the tomcat instances, running as a reverse proxy. Authentication is realized at the container side. Access log files are active on the httpd side.
What I am missing in the httpd log files is the remote user information. I know it is not available via mod_proxy. So I plan to switch to mod_jk. But it is not available in mod_jk either. And I would like to contribute on this. I know a possible work around would be to include the remote user information in the response headers and log this via httpd; but I am not sure I can count on the software owners to make the changes in a short time. If there is not difficulty in tomcat for grabbing the remote user, I would like to add a new response message in AJP13. The new response message would be as follow: AJP13_CONTAINER_REMOTE_USER := prefix_code 7 remote_user (string) Any comments before I start working on this ? Thanks for your interest, -- Issa Gorissen
