CGI.REMOTE_USER doesn't seem to be available unless the user authenticates against the
web server (in our case, IIS on Win2K).
What we were thinking of doing was bypassing that step entirely since they
authenticate to the workstation to begin with (which is where the idea of using the NT
Environment Variables (%username%) came from).
Thanks for the suggestion, though.
