Wayne,
Just a thought.
Are you certain that the page you are concerned with is in fact a url
that is protected by the authentication block in the Apache config?
For example, you may have first requested a page that required you to
authenticate but subsequently requested a page that does not.
REMOTE_USER will show up in the first but not the second.
Peter

Subject: Re: [WEB400] Environment Variables
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
