Is setting the iv-user header in an HTTP request the same as setting the REMOTE_USER variable? If one application sets the user id in the iv-user header is there a way for Apache put it into the REMOTE_USER variable? Or am I mixing things up?

          It looks like you're confusing things. Take look at the table in this IBM doc on IV Headers.




          Iv-user - The short name of the Access Manager user. Defaults to unauthenticated if the client is unauthenticated (unknown).




          They're not the same based on what I'm reading in that article.

            Oh, IBM! A typo on your website. I'll correct it here, because I can.
