Apache's Basic and Group authentication sets the REMOTE_USER environment variable for the user's HTTPD session. Many other authentication methods follow suit. By adding a field to Gallery's user database and checking it at runtime, we can add auto-login capabilities to Gallery.

This involved changing the following files:

create_user.php
init.php
modify_user.php
setup_userdb.php

And adding these two (mostly copy-and-paste jobs):

remote_user/Remote_User_User.php
remote_user/Remote_User_UserDB.php

Remote_User_User.php.txt	930 bytes

Has this been updated for current releases? Note that the patch file is NOT in unified format and so it does not apply cleanly to newer releases. :cry:
