My configuration is Apache 2.2.3 using Tomcat - AJP with mod_proxy_ajp, mod_ssl.

We have configured Kerberos but some users are getting an error - Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

Users with headers above 8K are getting this error, users less than 8K can get in fine.

How can I increase this header limit in Apache/Tomcat? I have tried multiple suggestions found on google and other sites.

Here is what I tried:

Adding the following to the http.conf
LimitRequestFieldSize 65536
ProxyIOBufferSize 65536

Adding the following to server.xml
packetSize="65536"

I see some discussion around editing a workers.propeties file, but we dont have any files on the server with that name.

I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

workers.propeties comes into the game if you use mod_jk.

You may also adjust
LimitRequestLine
