From: Randy Mayall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: general/1705: REMOTE_USER defined in authenticate_basic_user and undefined within add_common_vars Date: Mon, 23 Feb 1998 11:34:55 -0500 The cgi exists within a directory requiring authentication. I have been able to interegate the Security Cookie to gain access to the username as a work around. When I get some time, I will do the download. I really think one on the system guys here messed up the code. Please close the problem report and I'll respond when I'm able to do the file compair. See Ya!!!! :) Response to message : >This problem is also likely to occur if you're using cgis with >paths like /cgi-bin/foo. If you do that, and you haven't put >an authentication requirement on /cgi-bin/ then REMOTE_USER >won't be set. See the FAQ for more details. > >Is this the case? > >Dean > > >
