.. 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?
my application is a cgi script, by setting the environment variable
REMOTE_USER the application can make use of that, in my case there is no
direct need for r->user.
unfortunately since the remote_user is usable by my cgi script, it does
not really auth the network users to apache, thus requiring me to use
allow from network; satisfy any.
For my current needs this does work well for me and see no problem with it.
