.. and to explicit the question even more :
Deep down in Apache's "request record" for the current request, there is a field which contains the authenticated user-id for this request, thus available to any other Apache module (not only to cgi scripts). I have a doubt that merely setting the "Apache variable" REMOTE_USER would auto-magically set this field.

That's r->user, which is presented to CGI (and things that adopt or
"embrace and extend" CGI) as REMOTE_USER.  Most applications (except
authz modules) use REMOTE_USER, so won't need r->user.

Is your application implemented a a module or modules, or is it
external to the server?
