[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Portal] - JBossPortal, trusting Apache for authentication.

[badock]

Hello all, 

I use JbossPortal behind an Apache, using Kerberos.
The user has to have authorization from Apache to display the Portal, and his username is stored in the Apache-variable REMOTE_USER.
What i need now, is JBossPortal to read this value from Apache, and automatically log the user in, so that the user has not to type any password again.

I've been told to use JkEnvVar to pass the REMOTE_USER value from Apache to Tomcat, but it's still quite vague for me, and i'd like to know, if you had any idea on how JBossPortal can obtain this value ?

Thanks for helping . :)
