Hi Jean,

You modified http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossweb/tags/JBOSSWEB_7_0_17_FINAL/java/org/apache/coyote/ajp/AjpAprProcessor.java with following change:
{noformat}
 protected boolean tomcatAuthentication = 
        Boolean.valueOf(System.getProperty("org.apache.coyote.ajp.AprProcessor.TOMCATAUTHENTICATION", "true")).booleanValue();
{noformat}
However, AjpAprProtocol.java modified this value as follows:
{noformat}
    /**
     * Should authentication be done in the native webserver layer, 
     * or in the Servlet container ?
     */
    protected boolean tomcatAuthentication = true;

...
// --------------------------------------  AjpConnectionHandler Inner Class
    protected static class AjpConnectionHandler implements Handler {
...
protected AjpAprProcessor createProcessor() {
            AjpAprProcessor processor = new AjpAprProcessor(proto.packetSize, proto.endpoint);
            processor.setAdapter(proto.adapter);
            processor.setTomcatAuthentication(proto.tomcatAuthentication); // <--- This will override the system property settings.
            processor.setRequiredSecret(proto.requiredSecret);
            register(processor);
            return processor;
}
{noformat}
Hence, the change should also be made in AjpAprProtocol.java as:
{noformat}
 protected boolean tomcatAuthentication = 
              Boolean.valueOf(System.getProperty("org.apache.coyote.ajp.AprProcessor.TOMCATAUTHENTICATION", "true")).booleanValue();
{noformat}

Thanks,

Usman

> In JBoss 5.1.0 I could set the tomcatAuthentication attribute of the AJP connector to false to allow IIS to handle the authentication and pass that along to JBoss. I'm wanting to upgrade to JBoss 7 but unable to set this attribute in version 7.0.0 final to make this work. This attribute is descibed in the tomcat documentation at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/ajp.html
