Joshua,
Thank you for your response. But, it did not work. Here is a snippet from my httpd.conf file.
### Start - SNIPPET FROM HTTPD.CONF##
RewriteRule .* - [E=RU:%{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}]
RequestHeader set UserId %{RU}e
<Location />
AuthUserFile "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\sbacces"
AuthName "Secured access Apache"
AuthType basic
Require valid-user
</Location>
### End - SNIPPET FROM HTTPD.CONF##
Output from TCPMON headers:
Host: localhost:8080
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en-us
If-Modified-Since: Fri, 05 Aug 2005 15:03:27 GMT
If-None-Match: W/"92-1123254207000"

Authorization: Basic c2FiOnNhYjEyMw==

Your help will be highly appreciated. THank you in advance.

Those variables are for mod_rewrite/mod_cgi and are not available to
mod_headers. You may be able to use something like:
RewriteRule .* - [E=RU:%{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}]
RequestHeader set UserId %{RU}
