I don't have a sample config that does this, but the principle is as follows:
# Use RewriteCond to capture the user name - LookAhead, as auth
happens after rewrite
# Dont use LA-U in .htaccess, as rewrite in .htaccess happens after
auth (so not needed)
RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} ^(.*)$
# Use RewriteRule to put that into an env variable
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [env=remote_user:%1]
# Use RequestHeader to update the request's headers to include our env variable
RequestHeader set X-Remote-User ext-%{remote_user}e
Like I said, not tested!
Cheers
Tom
