RE: REMOTE_USER server variable not passed by mod_aspdotnet

[Yussef Alkhamrichi]

No need to worry about the REMOTE_USER, it's the standard behaviour of 
ASP.NET and not from mod_aspdotnet, it turns out that I've to write an own 
IHttpModule that handles authentication now I'm using LDAP as authentication 
(interpret the authenticated user from the LDAP server variables and set the 
context.User). So no need to bother you mod_aspdotnet guys any more :)

I've onw other question, why is ExecCGI needed in the Options sections (and 
is also checked to be set in mod_aspdotnet.cpp). I understand that allowing 
CGI can a security hazard. What is the reason for this setting?

sorry for spamming this list :)
I'm using LDAP authentication on my Apache 2.0 server and with PHP I nicely 
get the REMOTE_USER name back but with ASP.NET I don't.

I have had a look at Apache::Web::WorkerRequest::WorkerRequest() and 
Apache::Web::WorkerRequest::GetServerVariable(). It seems like all the vars 
passed with ap_add_common_vars(r)   (in mod_aspdotnet.cpp) should be coming 
thru. (Hence my test with PHP using the samen authentication, PHP did 
succeed to display the REMOTE_USER).

Anyone an idea what is going wrong here and where this servervariable is 
getting stuck?

ps. I tried to test it a bit more but couldn't get the debug logging 
working, I've build the debig version, used regasm+gacutil and set the log 
level in httpd.conf to info, still nog nice debug logging to trace the bug, 
seems like everything is going wrong today :S
