Hi all,
  We are using a web authentication system called SiteMinder (from
Netegrity).  The way SiteMinder works, a web agent is installed as DSO
module in apache.  This module then intercepts each incoming request and
checks against a policy database to see if the resource is protected.  If
so, the user is requested to login (the first time).  If the user is
successfully authenticated and authorized, then a session cookie is created
and the request is sent on to apache for normal processing.  Each subsequent
request includes the session cookie and that is used to see if the user is
authorized to the specific content.

I am told by the Netegrity folks that the way the web agent intercept
requests is very similar to what IBM does with Websphere when it uses apache
as the web server (the Listener module or some such thing).

Anyway, this all works fine and well with just the SiteMinder web agent and
Apache.  However, when we throw JServ in the mix, things start to break.
The parent apache process eventually dies off (without any error messages
whatsoever) and then the children eventually stop responding, leaving a dead
web server.

Does anybody have any suggestions for me as to where to start looking?

I am considering using Tomcat or JRun instead of JServ...any guesses as to
whether or not this would take care of the problem?

Thanks!

Tom.
