There are a bunch of these web server authentication plugins that all mostly suck. Web server authentication would be fairly easy to add to core, with a minimal amount of change. The auto-auth code does nearly everything required of web server authentication, except the things that extensions *really* shouldn't be doing, like adding users to the database, and checking sessions.
Would anyone object if I add this support to core?

Hello Platonides,
Performed the following:
- Created Auth_remoteuser.php from the code at
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AutomaticREMOTE_USER#Code)
- Ensured the permissions where correct on the new extension
- Replaced Auth_remoteuser.php
- Run php update.php --aconf ../AdminSettings.php
Received the error again: PHP Notice: Undefined index: REMOTE_USER in /appl/web/devwiki/public_www/mediawiki-1.15.3/extensions/Auth_ remoteuser.php on line 195
Line 195 of Auth_remoteuser.php if ( strlen($_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']) )
Thanks again.

This is line 92 of Auth_remoteuser.php:

You suggested that I Update my AutomaticREMOTE_USER
extension, but I
didn't have that extension for 1.11.0.
Thank you.
Auth_remoteuser.php doesn't seem to be the last version.
