Following are copies of two posts by me from the Novell Apache forum at

By referencing a JSP as the default page to load by referencing it in DirectoryIndex 
in Apache2 and not including the filename in the request URL I can successfully 
retrieve getRemoteUser. However, if I include the JSP name in the request 
getRemoteUser returns null. Although, this works for JSP it doesn't help with servlets.

Post1
http://webAddr:port/aliasName/SecurePage.jsp -- getRemoteUser returns null

Made this change, I had DirectoryIndex rem'ed out.
DirectoryIndex SecurePage.jsp

http://webAddr:port/aliasName/ -- user name as advertised

Even after authenticating if I link back and forth between the link including the 
filename and the one using the default the the one using the filename will return null.

Post2
Couldn't think of a way to apply DirectoryIndex to servlet/userLogin. So I applied it 
to MainMenu.jsp, redirected from servlet/userLogin. MainMenu.jsp then saves it in the 
session.

If anyone sees anything here that hints that I have maybe misconfigured something I'd 
like to know about it.
