Question #1:
If an authenticating web proxy is placed in front of the Tomcat service that
hosts the Grouper UI, does the remote username have to be transmitted to
Tomcat using an AJP connector? Can it be communicated over HTTP (e.g. in a
header)? Would that be something I could test (e.g. using curl) on the back
end?


Question #2:
What config file(s) for Grouper and/or Tomcat need to be edited to tell the
Grouper UI that the user has already been authenticated?

Thanks,
