In my work, I chose to allow the X.509 auth backend as well as the 
standard auth. Users can change their password when authenticated with 
X.509, and then since post-review isn't able to use X.509, it will use 
the standard authentication backend. After implementing the X.509 
authentication stuff, I've been wondering if it might have been better 
to do it the REMOTE_AUTH way. That would allow for the ugly regular 
expression in the UI to be dropped. It may be useful to merge the 
changes we made to the templates in Issue 513 and review 938. That would 
probably be the simplest solution to getting a usable solution in which 
you can rely on corporate Single Sign On and still keep the post-review 
tool useful without needing to add potentially proprietary code to 
post-review.

Cheers,
Nathan
