Tomcat 5 Apache Authentication

[kandryc]

Hi all,
     I am having a problem getting Tomcat 5 to use Apache authentication. We
have an existing CGI application that is handled by Apache 2, and I am tring to
integrate some java stuff using Tomcat 5. Here is what I have:

##
## APACHE 2 conf/httpd.conf:
##

# Tomcat Connector
LoadModule jk2_module modules/mod_jk2.so
JKSet config.file "/opt/apps/apache/conf/workers2.properties"

# Tomcat 5
Alias /web/ja/ /opt/web/prod/ja/
<Directory /opt/web/prod/ja/>
  SSLRequireSSL
  AuthType Basic
  AuthUserFile /opt/work/apps/trade/conf/ft_webauth
  AuthGroupFile /opt/work/apps/trade/conf/ft_webauthg
  require group mygroup
  AllowOverride All
  order allow,deny
  allow from all
  Options MultiViews Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

# CGI Webapp
ScriptAlias /web/ /opt/web/prod/
<directory /opt/web/prod/>
  SSLRequireSSL
  AuthUserFile /opt/work/apps/trade/conf/ft_webauth
  AuthGroupFile /opt/work/apps/trade/conf/ft_webauthg
  AuthName privy
  AuthType Basic
  require group ftgroup1 vedp demoskin umass choosemd wtctacoma wtcstl wtcc
belmont wtcchicago wtcdemo wtcfrance wisconsin aim medc efi testgroup webdev twr
dcca wtcdn matrade ft_g2 ft_g3 ft_g4 ft_g5 ft_g6 ft_g7 ft_g8 ft_g9
  AllowOverride All
  order allow,deny
  allow from all
  Options MultiViews ExecCGI
</directory>

## workers2.properties
##

[shm]

# java web app

      </Host>

    </Engine>

  </Service>

</Server>

Ok, so I placed tomcatAuthentication="false" and also in my httpd.conf file, I
put the directory to my java stuff since I want it to be protected by Apache's
authentication. However, when I try my java app, the request.getRemoteUser()
comes up null, now do I get prompted for a password. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks,
Kevin
