Apache + Tomcat

Hi, sorry I had to describe it a little more.
I have configured Apache to be secure (passwd and group file). So every one
who wants to call a url, has to enter a name and password. Beside that he
has to be in one or more groups. This works properly. On the other end (by
Tomcat) I can get the user name (who logged on in Apache) with the method
getRemoteUser() (of request). I wonder, if I can even get the group
Infromation of user (groups that I have configured in group file).

I hope it's clear now.

Ok, so the 'users' and 'groups' are not system user/group but are defined
in some passwd file managed trought htpasswd functionality, right? Then
I'm afraid that there is nothing to do. If Apache doesn't transfert those
info the only thing you can do is to implement your own utility or to
switch to a different authentication scheme database-based (LDAP,
MySQL, PostGRe, wathever), then you should be able to collect those info
querying the database.

See the documentation of TomCat.
