http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10678 REMOTE_USER variable gets dropped when using .htaccess Summary: REMOTE_USER variable gets dropped when using .htaccess Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.39 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: mod_actions AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, I am using Apache 2.0.39, but unfortunately the REMOTE_USER environment variable gets lost, when limiting access by means of .htaccess. In contrast to this it is possible to limit the access in the httpd.conf file. works: Virtual Host Config: <Location /dir> AuthType Basic AuthName Test AuthUserFile /path/to/file Require valid-user </Location> doesn't work: .htaccess: AuthType Basic AuthName Test AuthUserFile /path/to/file Require valid-user Is there a special reason, why the REMOTE_USER variable is dropped in the second case and how can I avoid this behaviour? When trying to access a Document in "/dir" one is asked for password as usual, but even a simple Shell-script just writing the environment to a file, does not show the REMOTE_USER variable. The script was configured using AddHandler and Action. AddHandler testhandler .test Action testhandler /cgi-bin/testscript "testscript" contains: #!/bin/sh echo -e "Content-Type: text/plain\n\nhello world\n"; set > /tmp/testscript-output Thanks in advance!
