Oh, that's an attractive notion. Very. I wish I'd thought of it years
ago, would have simplified a lot of my logging. Actually it still would.

The authUser field of a conn is logged by nslog and can be read with
ns_conn authuser but is only set in the driver from basic
authentication. Does anyone (other than me) think there would be
value in allowing the conn username to be updated, i.e., by a new
'ns_conn setauthuser' subommand? The primary benefit would be to let
you log usernames with requests in your access log when your
authentication method is something other than http basic. A possible
secondary benefit would be to standardize how different parts of an
application (esp. a pluggable authentication system) could pass around
the logged-in username.
I have a simple patch to add this to stock 4.5; a better overall
approach would be to adopt naviserver's more flexible auth handling.
