Oops, belated realization -- is the "LOGON_USER" you mentioned in
your original mail from some Windows-native authentication? Because
getRemoteUser() being non-null depends on your having authenticated
with Tomcat's own methods.

So how does the LOGON_USER value work in an IE/ASP environment? Is
it passed in an HTTP header? through a cookie? If either, you can
access those, using methods of HttpServletRequest.
