The real code does set this (it also sets $r->ap_auth_type and $r->auth_name). I'm just using this GML::Reporter module as it shows exactly the same problem and doesn't really do anything (in particular, it doesn't modify the request record). (The real code is long and very specific to my server environment). I'm actually porting the real code from mod_perl v1, where it all works OK, and has done for several years. I'm now setting it to 'guest'. Makes no difference. It does set it, as 'guest' shows up in the access log in the %u value. > > PerlAuthzHandler GML::Reporter > > require group one_i_am_in > > are things better if you > > require valid-user No. That's what I actually started with. It also makes no difference if I move the .htaccess file out of the way and put the directives into a <Directory> clause in the server config.
