Can you let us know how you did this, Can we update the REMOTE_USER variable, From where can we find the documentation.
Does mod_cas takes configurable parameters,is it s Authentication module, Our objective is simply, call the CAS, serivice_validate retrive the xml and look for a specific attribute, if it is there update the remote_user variable, that is it. We dont bother about any PGTIOU etc....... We only care about service_validate.
