Many thanks, Tomas, just what I needed. Right now I'm still on 5.7 due
to an immediate release, but next week I'll go to 5.8, and then I'll be
happy to review and test a better solution. Credential::Remote looks
like what I didn't find. When I started working with this
authentication issue, I wouldn't even have understood
Credential::Remote type code, but by Monday I'll be better placed and
have time enough to give it a thorough test. <br>
<br>
All the best<br>

Doh, you appear to have duplicated a chunk of effort:

Not at the moment / in a released state.
<br>
<br>
The next Catalyst release will add $c->req->remote_user for this.
There is currently a failing test (for a bug which has been in Catalyst
forever) in trunk, and I'm hoping to get this fixed before we release
5.80005.
<br>
<br>
I'm also going to be reviewing / merging this branch of
Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication soonish (which I'm seriously late on
already)!
<br>
<br>
So to answer your actual question, yes, what you're doing is the right
thing to do, and will be present in 'officially released' software
within the next couple of weeks max hopefully.
<br>
<br>
If you fancy reviewing the code I linked about, and trying it out to
see if it works for you, and commenting on anything you think needs
work (including documentation!), then that would be a great help :)
<br>
<br>
Cheers
