I cant seem to get this working :-( So I guess you want to pass REMOTE_USER from the proxy to the origin server. Something like this might work: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} (.+) RewriteRule . - [E=RU:%1] Header add X-Forwarded-User %{RU}e (Ouch, that's complicated. And I'm not sure it will work; depends on the order of hook processing.)
