| 
 |  
| In the Apache documentation (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_ajp.html), there is a "secret" attribute for the mod_proxy_ajp.  But it mentioned it is "Supported since 2.4.42". 
 As the recent vulnerability (CVE-2020-1938) is about to apply a password between Apache HTTP server and Tomcat server using AJP protocol, are there any official release of Apache 2.4.42 to support the "secret"?

| It is expected this month, no day set. 
 The fix is already accepted to go in 2.4.42 :
 
 mod_proxy_ajp: Add "secret" parameter to proxy workers
 to implement legacy AJP13 authentication. The attribute is now suggested/required by tomcat.
 
 Coming day I planned to make a snap 2 available for VS16, see  https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=8441
