JBoss AS 7.1.1 disable Tomcat Authentication without tomcatAuthentication attribute

[fonshirin]

Hi All!

I need to pass authentication information (REMOTE_USER) from httpd (as a reverse proxy with mod_jk) to Jboss AS 7.1.1

Is there any way to disable Tomcat Authentication without tomcatAuthentication attribute?

Or maybe it will be better to use Jboss AS 6.1?

Thx.

Use org.apache.coyote.ajp.AprProcessor.TOMCATAUTHENTICATION so 6.1

I have added system property org.apache.coyote.ajp.AprProcessor.TOMCATAUTHENTICATION to stanalone.xml (Jboss 7.1.1), but it doesn't take any effect. What i'm doing wrong?

Maybe I need to download another version of Jboss? But the last version available for download is 7.1.1. Version 6.1 works fine.

Please describe how can I use org.apache.coyote.ajp.AprProcessor.TOMCATAUTHENTICATION.

Thank you for your help.

It is org.apache.coyote.ajp.DEFAULT_TOMCAT_AUTHENTICATION not TOMCATAUTHENTICATION you need jbossweb 7.0.17 for that. (AS 7.1.3)

I've downloaded 7.1.3.Final source from Git repository. org.apache.coyote.ajp.DEFAULT_TOMCAT_AUTHENTICATION system property doesn't work, but org.apache.coyote.ajp.AprProcessor.TOMCATAUTHENTICATION works well.

Thanks a lot!

Can i ask your where you change the value? which file you modify.

[jfclere]

either start with -Dproperty=value or in standalone.xml in the system-properties part.

Was this answered? I have the same requirement. Can anyone tell me how to do that in Wildfly?

Thanks.
