Hi, I'm porting something off of Weblogic and onto a combination of Jboss and Tomcat.
All our http requests are intially handled by an iplanet server, which authenticates people (in a strange and curious way). We then send http requests to the servlet engine (which is currently weblogic) to actually process the request. So my webserver knows who the remote user is and just wants to bury that information in the http headers in such a way that tomcat reads it, and provides that information via getRemoteUser(). Tomcat doesn't need to do any authentication itself. For weblogic, we just have to set something like proxy-remote-user: <username> in the HTTP headers. I can't find any way to do this with the HTTP connector for Tomcat however. I looked briefly at the warp connector, that seems to have something similar ... but I really want to stick to HTTP. Is there anything I can send in the HTTP request from the webserver to the Tomcat servlet engine which just TELLS Tomcat who the remote user is and makes it return the correct value for getRemoteUser()?
