[mod_python] getting Windows username (REMOTE_USER)

It should be set if an Apache authentication handler has actually
authorised a user. If it isn't being set, then the URL isn't being
authenticated or the authentication handler isn't compliant and doing
what is expected of an Apache authentication handler.

What is the actual authentication handler you are using? What handler
phase are you trying to access this attribute?

Please use reply-all to keep discussion on the mailing list.
