We also ran into this. Our local server configuration was case-sensitive and
the LDAP uid key was converted to upper-case, so we used:
RequestHeader set REMOTE_USER %{AUTHENTICATE_UID}e
which fixed the problem. We found the solution by searching for
'AUTHENTICATE_uid', it appears to be a relatively common thing.
Beyond that everything else was the same from the Galaxy wiki.
