Is there a way to modify an environment variable that gets passed to a CGI? For example, I'm doing Kerberos authentication and the realm gets appended to the REMOTE_USER variable, e.g., REMOTE_USER= username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I just want username and not the realm. I would prefer not to do this in the CGI because the CGIs are already written (legacy in house application).

TIA.

I just did this using mod_rewrite by setting the E flag.

RewriteRule /.* - [E=varname:value]

In my case, I needed to pass the request uri to ColdFusion (which doesn't appear to pass it along as it should). I did so using this capability (I was already using mod_rewrite).

RewriteRule /.* /my/redirect.cfm [E=MY_REQUEST_URI:%{REQUEST_URI},PT]

Worked like a charm.

Hope this helps.
