I sent a message earlier with a similiar problem however I'm using IIS 5.0 and the ISAPI redirector, and not using Apache with SSL certificates.
It appears the combination of the CoyoteConnector and the JkCoyoteHandler is where the bugs lies. I switched off the CoyoteConnector, and reverted back to the old Ajp13Connector, added the attribute tomcatAuthentication="false" and it worked fine. However I've been having stability problems with the Ajp13Connector (Tomcat runs out of threads) and want to upgrade to the new CoyoteConnector as soon as possible. At this stage this bug is all that is holding me back from deployment of 4.1.18 to production.

Everything seems to be working fine, except request.getRemoteUser() is returning null. (The REMOTE_USER is shown from a CGI script, so authentication is working.) The only reference I can find to this problem is in /tomcat-docs/config/jk.html: setting the tomcatAuthentication attribute when using org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.Ajp13Connector, but since this connector doesn't appear in my server.xml, it doesn't seem to be relevant. (It does seem to be relevant for Tomcat 4.0.6, but I'd rather not have to try dropping back to there.) Before I post voluminous config files, am I missing something obvious? Thanks.
