[users@httpd] "SetEnvIf Remote_User" never matches

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set some environment variable depending on the logged user 
(in this case, to limit the scope of awstats).
Here is what I have in the .htaccess file in the awstats directory:

    Options +ExecCGI

    # Redirect non ssl request
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

    DirectoryIndex awstats.cgi

    # Allow login either via pwauth (shawdow password) or .htpasswd
    AuthType             basic
    AuthName             "Web log"
    AuthExternal pwauth
    AuthExternalAuthoritative off
    AuthUserFile /var/www/localhost/.htpasswd_awstats
    require user user1 user2 user3

    # if user is user3, only show stats for test
    SetEnvIf Remote_User ^user3$ AWSTATS_FORCE_CONFIG=xxx.yyy.com


However, the env variable is never set. For testing, when I replace 
^user3$ with ^.*$ (match anything), the variable is correctly set. If I 
replace with ^.+$ (match any non-empty username), the variable is not 
set anymore. So it seems that Remote_User is always empty, even when 
someone logs in.
I also modified awstats.cgi to display the content of the REMOTE_USER 
environment variable and this one is always correctly set, it's never empty.

Does anyone have any idea about what's going on?

Thanks,
	Nahor

Hmm. mod_rewrite should do. Like:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} =user3
RewriteRule ^ - [E=AWSTATS_FORCE_CONFIG:xxx.yyy.com]

Thanks, do you (or somebody else) have an idea of how I could workaround 
that issue? In a worst case scenario, I can use different URI but I 
would prefer to avoid it as much as possible.
