user name not printed on access_log

[Seetha Lakshmi]

Hi,

I have a webserver running in apache. All the pages are password protected. We use LDAP to authenticate the user. The details of the users who are accessing the page is logged in the file access_log file.The user is authenticated by entering the Simplied mail id and NT password. The problem is that the environmental variable REMOTE_USER is not set as soon as user logs in. and this information is not logged into the access_log. Can you suggest why the REMOTE_USER variable is not set

I believe REMOTE_USER is set if you use the
default browser authentication required
pop-up. Try running a CGI page that dumps
the environment to see which property has
the userid.

You should then be able to set the REMOTE_USER
using the setenv module.
