RewriteCond ${REMOTE_USER} . does not seem to work when the REMOTE_USER is
not defined. The statement evaluates to true.
I plan of writing -e directive.

. is one "any character", yes. ="" is empty (equiv. to the regEx ^$).
If you negate the meaning with an exclamation mark, !="", it stands
for "is not empty". If '.' evaluates, there's at least one character
returned for your search string. But ${REMOTE_USER} should read
%{REMOTE_USER} (% instead of $).
