Anyone? Is there a perhaps a more useful way to frame my query?

Specifically, I'm trying to ensure that REMOTE_USER is set to the
actual username credential that was used to authenticate to CAS.
More generally, it would be useful to have a better understanding
of what gets mapped to REMOTE_USER and how to configure such.

Aloha,
