[users at bb.net] How do you pass through authentication from Apache?

[Chris Spencer]

I'm still confused. You said if I used RemoteUserAuth, Buildbot won't show
a login form, but it is. Even if Apache isn't correctly passing through the
username, should that not be happening? Does Buildbot render a login form
for anonymous users, regardless of the auth method?
