Re: HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser()

[Constantin Nickonov]

That's configured in 'httpd.conf'. Here's an example stanza, which will cause sending of the information to any CGI script in the '/cgi-bin' directory:

<Directory /httpd/cgi-bin/>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName PT_internal
    AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/etc/passwd
    AuthGroupFile /usr/local/apache/etc/group
<Limit GET POST>
    require group users
</Limit>
</Directory>

Of course, you have to set up the password/group database, etc. I've tried a similar approach with the servlet directory, and it doesn't seem to work. There must be a parallel method of accomplishing this, but I can't find it!

        How do you configure Apache to get a valid REMOTE_USER in
CGIs?
