In Apache configuration just require authentication:
require valid user
User ID is sent to application in header attribute - REMOTE_USER In ADUCID AIM it is called UDI As we use Apache you can rename it to anything else - some applications use x-forwarded-user or other user ID
Example how to send X-forwarded-user instead of REMOTE_USER:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} (.+) RewriteRule .* - [E=RU:%1] RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-User %{RU}e
Apache has to be accessible only via TLS (https) Back-end application has to be separated and accessible only from Apache (http, ajp, …) Apache installed for ADUCID shouldn't be used for applications. User another instance of Apache instead. Headers from client are not transported to the back-end as ProxyPass is used (unless you configure Apache to do it) So if users sents REMOTE_USER to Apache, it is wiped out and target application won't see it
