State-Changed-Why:
Please go through the docs again.

Obviously, if you want to get a REMOTE_USER variable then
your script has to be protected.

If you add another ScriptAlias from /cgi-bin/ to the
presumably existing one, then obviously both can't work.
Also note that you have to access the script as /cgi-bin/
instead of /protected/cgi-bin for that to work.

If you want htaccess files to be processed in your cgi-bin
directory, then you have to change the "AllowOverride none"
that is probably listed in your config file for that directory.
