Good evening list, I have been trying to get the REMOTE_USER variable to be seen by Zope. I have almost got there by using various articles on the Internet, but I need a little bit of help to get the last bit working. I have got Apache performing the authentication and this works well as I get the Zope page when I enter a valid username and password. I have noticed that the Z2 log file for my Zope instances contains the username that I have used to access the site, but I cannot get Zope itself to see the username - this is the most confusing bit for me as it surely means that the username is being passed to Zope. The following is a snippet from my Apache: <Location /zope> AuthName "Zope Access" AuthType Basic <AUTHENTICATION ROUTINES> require valid-user ProxyPass http://x.x.x.x:8080/zope </Location> ProxyPassReverse /zope http://x.x.x.x:8080/zope This all works brilliantly apart from the fact that I cannot get the username in Zope. I need this do I can do some custom authorisation to a database that my Zope application accesses. I have tried many different variations using RewriteRule and trying to set the environment variables but to no avail. Thanks to anyone that can give me some pointers. Russell
