I read the answer from Dieter and unfortunately I'm not authenticating
from Apache. So, I went for the approach indicated by Chris Withers
without any success:

I put this on the "log" method of the medusa/http_server.py file:
self.response.setHeader('remote_user',name)
and set my apache access log like this:
CustomLog /home/apache/httpd/logs/access_log combined
The combined log is defined as follows:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
combined
There you see the %l and %u directives, which are the "Remote logname"
and the "Remote user".
But apache still doesn't get the zope authenticated user. So, Chris, do
you remember what header you set, where, and which method you used?
Ok, Answering to this question. I guess I had to set the header inside the
authenticate method of the BasicUserFolder class. Here is what I did:
def authenticate(self, name, password, request):
emergency = self._emergency_user
user = None
if name is None:
pass
else:
if emergency and name==emergency.getUserName():
user = emergency
else:
user = self.getUser(name)
if user is not None and user.authenticate(password, request):
pass
else:
user = None
logUser = 'Anonymous'
if (user != None):
logUser = user.getUserName()
request.response.setHeader('remote-user',logUser)
return user
The header is set, but apache still doesn't get it, so, I guess I'm
using the wrong name. What header should I use?
Regards
Josef
