getRemoteUser returns null on JSP and in servlet

843841Jul 8 2003 — edited Jul 8 2003

I am trying to get the user that authenticated by using the getRemoteUser method but it returns null. I tried this in a JSP and in a servlet and both return null. I have Apache setup to perform authentication using a file. I get the dialog to enter the userid and password. But after that I can't the info on who logged in.
Am I missing something in the way I configured my webserver.
I'm using Apache HTTPD 2.0 and Tomcat 4.
Thanks for the help
