remote_user problem

hello!

i am using Apache 2.0.59 and tomcat 5.5.23 with mod_jk2.0.4 on Xp PRO.

The problem is that i use apache authentication and that the remote_user
that is returned to tomcat is null when i authenticate correctly.

This is how i authenticate the users (part of httpd.conf file):


AuthType Basic
AuthName "Test LOGIN"
AuthUserFile C:/Apache2/user.db
require valid-user



This is the configuration of server.xml (tomcat file):


enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3"
request.tomcatAuthentication="false" />


Any ideas how will i be able to pass the username that the user enters to
remote_user?

Thanks anyway!
