I'd try something with either
<Location "/intranet1">
<Directory "/drives/a/webapps/intranet1">
You might have to play around with a few different similar values and
where the lines are placed in your httpd.conf file.
Also, is there any kind of rewriting, or aliasing going on? That
might change what values you have to use in the above directives.
(That was true in my situation, and I had to try a few different
things before I found something that worked.)
Also, in your Connector tag in tomcat's server.xml, you may need to
add the attribute tomcatAuthentication="false", e.g.:
<!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
<Connector className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.Ajp13Connector"
port="8009" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
acceptCount="10" debug="0" tomcatAuthentication="false"/>
I needed to add that in order to have Tomcat use the authenticated
user value from Apache (and then it showed up in the logs -- in one of
your earlier messages, you showed some lines from the logs where the
user showed up on one line but not another). You might try this
first, actually, that could be your problem.
