java-programmer, bypassing IIS Hi

We have an architecture where users log in to their
"windows" pcs using Microsoft Active Directory
and requests are then sent as follows:

client -> IIS -> Tomcat

An isapi redirector resides at IIS which forwards the request to
Tomcat.

isapi redirect would appear to populate the HTTP header with
the user's credentials.

My question is: how can we avoid the overhead of IIS
and send requests directly to Tomcat for authentication against the
ldap server as before.

(The issue I see is how to populate the HTTP header with the
user details?)

Regards
