Greetings all,
Please NOTE: I want to mention that what I'm about to describe is
apparently a common problem. I have thoroughly searched the
tomcat-user mailing list archives and the google. I have attempted the
many, many suggestions put forth (which I will describe in more
detail), and this is still not working properly.
My environment
-----------------------
RHEL 4.7
Apache httpd 2.0.52
mod_jk 1.2.27
Tomcat 5.0.28 (this version is required by a proprietary app we're using)
The problem
------------------
No matter what I try, I am unable to get Tomcat to see the value of
the http variable REMOTE_USER. It is _always_ null to Tomcat.
Everything else related to my Apache web server / mod_jk / Tomcat
setup is working properly. I can view all /jsp-examples. I can use our
proprietary web java app.
What I have tried
------------------------
* For starters, I have confirmed using a perl script that REMOTE_USER
is indeed being set (following a couple different authentication types
- Basic and Shibboleth).
* I have set JkLogLevel debug in httpd.conf, and confirmed (by tailing
mod_jk.log) that mod_jk is passing REMOTE_USER and its value from
Apache web server to Tomcat.
* I have tried JkEnvVar REMOTE_USER in httpd.conf.
* I have tried JkEnvVar REMOTE_USER "<fake>", JkEnvVar REMOTE_USER
bob, JkEnvVar REMOTE_USER %{REMOTE_USER}, etc., etc., etc., etc. in
httpd.conf.
* I have set both tomcatAuthentication="false" and
request.tomcatAuthentication="false" in Tomcat's server.xml and in
jk2.properties (and endless combinations of one or both in one or both
places).
I am out of ideas. None of the "common fixes" (that I've found anyway)
are working. Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this problem?
