Hi,
our company also want to use Confluence 2.1.x.
But we have an issue:
Intranet Integration
All Users fĂĽr web based Applications have a single URL
https://intranet.mycompany.com running apache 2.0.x and mod_auth_ldap.
Currently, all intranet apllications are using the environment variable
REMOTE_USER for user mapping which is passed from apache through
the webserver module to the java/php/perl application.
Once, the user is logged in, everything is fine.
The java/php/perl application knows the
user = REMOTE_USER and can make the necessary
LDAP Requests for the user.
Login screens for Apllcations are not necessary at all.
For mediawiki, there's an example in the Extension "Auto_Login_via_REMOTE_USER".
It would be great, to have a configuration variable like
REMOTE_USER=true within the Confluence Web Admin
to use this simple feature in Confluence and
to make it simple to integrate in existing Intranet and Extranet Environments.
Of course, it's necessary to configure confluence LDAP integration, that
confluence uses the same user oids as the apache mod_auth_ldap.

I am currently setting up a confluence/jira environment in an existing env that had REMOTE_USER already set using an nginx that also delt with authentication.
Thought it was a no-brainer, but still having issues with something that seams so simple. The RemoteUserJiraAuth looks like the thing to use, but I also had to get nginx to support AJP (had to compile in the module), then use another nginx module (also compiling in) to be able to send headers over AJP. And, still having problems because none of the headers I'm sending works for some reason.
Anyone that have this proper setup?
This issue is coming up for its 10th birthday soon.. Atlassian? Anything? This seams so trivial...
