Auto login via Remote User

This extension http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Auto_Login_via_REMOTE_US
ER
requires web server  authentication right?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this means that the contents
of the User Table
would have to be in the passwd file defined through the
.htaccess file
right?

.. because it passes whatever the user authenticates on the
webserver with
through to the wiki/extensions scripts right?

(resulting in this not really being useful because i've got
to duplicate my
user table ....)


Comments appreciated,
