This might be the simplest, though I was hoping to
avoid any
code-level hack since it may be more difficult to keep up to date
with
MW releases. Though MW auth would be better than the htauth popup
that
no one likes. I didn't realize this could be done in LocalSettings, I
thought it was cached, I will experiment with this Wednesday.
No, it isn't, and even if it was - you could create some small
extension doing the same check during initialisation :)

I've just tested such setup, and REMOTE_USER is passed in my case...
(of course, only if access isn't allowed by host-based auth)
