Missing authentic user name in the Apache log files

[idealbrain]

We have an intranet application using Apache as the web server. This application is Single SignOn enabled. So users who try to access this application , has to login using their SSO ID & pwd.

 

But I don't this ID information in the Apache webserver log files. I mean in "Field 3." the ID information is not getting into the log files. Our web server admin is not having much knowledge on this. I am hoping someone here can help me. Thanks.
