Peter, I'm doing this in the same main CGI program that retrieves other environment variables, so I know that the mechanism works.

I'm starting to wonder if there is an Apache configuration directive that may be missing to allow REMOTE_USER to be populated by the validation list value. Here is what I have in httpd.conf:

Require valid-user
ServerUserID QTMHHTTP
PasswdFile ICFLIB/UCCWEB
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Louisiana Secreta
SSLRequireSSL
SetEnv HTTPS_PORT 4430
Options +ExecCGI

If you are not retrieving it then you must have an issue with
the mechanism you are using to retrieve it. It's there for all to
retrieve.
