REMOTE_USER is a special variable with a specific meaning. It's not some generic variable for identifying your user unless you have taken steps to have REMOTE_USER set. It is a way for a webserver upstream of you to identify the credentials and pass them down to your app in a secure way.
Anyway, so far it sounds like you didn't know what REMOTE_USER was and there's my brief explanation. You'll have to give more info about your setup and explain why exactly you expect it to not be None.
