Hi!

We have recently migrated from OWS2.1 to WAS3.0.0.18.0 (Solaris 2.5.1). Our applications were working just fine under OWS2.1. One of them would display different options if you had authenticated yourself , i.e if you, through your browser, had set the envirement variable REMOTE_HOST. The application would get the enviroment variable using Oracle's PL/SQL package owa_util.get_cgi_env().

Since we migrated, this does not work any more. After looking into it, it seems that WAS3.0, or rather the owa_util package does not even attempt to get REMOTE_USER.

Please, have any of you run into this problem? If so, how did you resolve it. I'd love to have a workaround for it.

Regards,
