Apache 2.4.25 .26 and .27 tested and confirmed that my LogFormat %u comes in as "-" even when 200 code (good) page loaded. I am using mod_proxy to send the traffic to a backend tomcat server for 1, and Oracle WL proxy module for the other... both have an authenticated user, but my logs in Apache HTTP server won't show it.

I tested a simple .htaccess and .htpasswd and it shows the username properly.

Any clue why this isn't passing back and HTTPD cant log it?

in %u apache will store only a user that was authenticated by itself.

it might work to save the remote user to a local variable and log that.

e.g.

SetEnv REMOTE_USER $REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER
