OK... since it's my syntax, I'm happy to answer this particular question. In the RewriteCond statement, the last part is (.*), what that does is match on any value in the named HTTP header field (different than an environment variable set by Apache) and stores that value in a regular expression back-reference. That back-reference is used in the RewriteRule statement to set the value of the custom environment variable.
RewriteCond back-references are stored in %1-%9, while RewriteRule back-references are stored in $1-$9.
Now, that's pretty much the only part of your message I can really answer. As has been stated by others, setting the REMOTE_USER value in this manner should not work...

To be more precise, I would like to put the value of the LDAP_USER_ALT
variable into the REMOTE_USER variable
Is there a solution to exchange the contents of variables ?
