I understand how to have an Apache reverse proxy send the REMOTE_USER as a
header, with something like
RequestHeader set X-Proxy-REMOTE-USER %{REMOTE_USER}
but how to I get Authentication::Credential::Remote to use the header
instead of the environment variable? Do I need an auto method in Root.pm
that checks for the header and sets $c->req->remote_user()?
