 |

I am trying to set up IBM HTTP Server 8.5 as a front and a web application in Geronimo (geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.1.4) as the backend. IHS handles user authentication and then forwards the request to Geronimo.
Here is my httpd.conf :
| Code: |
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthLDAPUrl ldap://xxxx:389/ou=bluepages,o=abc.com?mail,cn,dept
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
Require ldap-group cn=test_bit,ou=memberlist,ou=ibmgroups,o=abc.com
RequestHeader set AUTHENTICATE_MAIL %{AUTHENTICATE_mail}e
RequestHeader set AUTHENTICATE_CN %{AUTHENTICATE_cn}e
RequestHeader set DEPARTMENT %{AUTHENTICATE_dept}e
ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/principal/hello
|
There is no HTTPS, no SSL. The authentication works perfectly and my servlet in localhost:8080/principal/hello is called.
The problem I am facing is although i get all the header data that has been set using RequestHeader, I am not getting the Principal object.
request.getUserPrincipal() returns null.
Is SSL/HTTPS must to get the Principal object ? Any additional configuration needs to be done in httpd.conf to populate the Principal object ?
Thanks for your help in advance. |
