ENV problems when upgrading to Apache2.0
Hi,
Sorry for my lack of Embperl knowledge but I am a system administrator
that had to take over some code. I recently upgraded Apache from 1.3.x
to 2.0.46 and now the REMOTE_USER environment variable is not getting
set. Currently I am running Embperl version 1.3.4 as a cgi. I did a
couple of test printing out the whole contents of $ENV and it looks
like REMOTE_USER is the only thing not getting propagated in the
Embperl script. I created a perl program to do the same thing and it
seems to work fine that way. Looking at the log files it seems that
with Embperl running as a cgi the request is actually a redirect. Is
there an option I can give to Embperl or Apache to redirect the
REMOTE_USER variable as well?
Thank you for any help,
Ryan Spaulding

Hi Gerald,
I was thinking of adding my own ENV to solve this problem.
I will let you know how it goes.
Thank you,
Ryan

That depends on the way you configure Apache, but normaly Apache will make
an internal redirect to call Embperl. I am not quite sure how Apache 2
handles REMOTE_USER on redirects, but normaly it is only set when an
authentication is required. Maybe this is not done for the redirect.

At the top of your embpcgi.pl add
$ENV{REMOTE_USER} = $ENV_{REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER} ;
But you have to be aware that you then only see the user from the main
request and not from the internal redirect. As you decribed things that is
what you want, but you should keep it in mind.
