I want to use modauthldap with Apache 1.3.29 to restrict access to some
web pages, especially to some dynamic ones generated by cgi scripts.

LDAP authentication seems to work fine with following .htaccess file:

AuthName    "Realm:"
AuthType    Basic
AuthLDAPurl ldap://localhost:389/ou=users,dc=domain,dc=country?uid
require     valid-user

The problem is: CGI scripts called by the HTML pages in the protected
directory don't see a REMOTE_USER environment variable (GET method), so
they don't know about the current user.

Any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Best regards
Konrad
