<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently trying to figure out how to pass and access attributes between Apache and Tomcat for display to the user in a front-end Java application. I currently have Apache 2.4.6 and Tomcat 7.0.54.0 with proxy_ajp installed and configured.
Apache acts as a reverse proxy for Tomcat and helps secure my web application. Although I can secure a web application without a problem I don’t seem to be able to pass and echo attributes between the two in a Java web application.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been following the guide provided here without any luck:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://wiki.surfnet.nl/display/surfconextdev/My+First+SP+-+Java">https://wiki.surfnet.nl/display/surfconextdev/My+First+SP+-+Java</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have double checked that my application defaults are set like so to allow the passing of information via ajp_proxy:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><ApplicationDefaults entityID=<a href="https://MY%20FQDN/shibboleth">https://MY FQDN/shibboleth</a> REMOTE_USER="eppn persistent-id targeted-id" attributePrefix="AJP_"><o:p></o:p></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><Location /ShibTest><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> AuthType shibboleth<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1<o:p></o:p></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b></Location><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although I am able to access the deployed application as defined here:
<a href="https://wiki.surfnet.nl/display/surfconextdev/My+First+SP+-+Java">https://wiki.surfnet.nl/display/surfconextdev/My+First+SP+-+Java</a> and am correctly directed to my authentication portal, none of the SAML attributes (with the exception of the persistent-id)
are passed and simply show “null”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have any experience with passing variables between Apache and Tomcat and then displaying them in a Tomcat application? If so, can you point me in the right direction and suggest other things I might check?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help would be greatly appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
