| Subject: | Populate remote_user |
C::E::Apache does populates Catalyst::Request->user, but not remote_user.
As of Catalyst-Runtime 5.80005 (C::R->remote_user as added), while using
the Apache engine and the Remote authN credential modules together, this
leads to a code path where $r->can('remote_user) is true, but always
returns 'undef'.
Attached is a patch that gets C::E::Apache to populate remote_user.
My environment is:
- Catalyst-Engine-Apache 1.12
- RHEL 5.4
- perl 5.8.8
- Catalyst-Runtime 5.80022
- Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication 0.10016
