Environment:Debian 8.2 /3.16.0-4-amd64
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
In alfresco earlier versions (4.x, also in 5.0a) , the external authentication working with REMOTE_USER environment variable, and also header based auth.
but in 5.0d only httpd header based authentication working.
I find in the log:
[org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.external.DefaultRemoteUserMapper] [http-apr-8080-exec-3] The remote user id is: null
Tested on community 5.0d, and nightly builds
5.0 c result: none of them work
Maybe the remote_user environment safer than header based auth.
