How to propagate authentication from mod-cluster/ajp to EAP 7

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • I have an application on JBoss that is placed behind Apache httpd which performs the authentication. I would like to forward the authenticated requests onto EAP 7 using the AJP connector so that the EAP performs only the authorization.
  • How can I configure something similar to tomcatAuthentication=false in EAP 7?
  • How to configure to allow EAP 7 to bypass its authentication and correctly populate getRemoteUser and getUserPrincipal from authentication information on the front-end Apache?

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 7
