The only code I remember seeing on this mailing list about that, was
mine for rt2. It sounds like you're using rt3, so that's all wrong.

rt3 has it's own auto-create-web-users thing. It's a varible in the
config file. It will create users with a username and real name of
whatever apache sets REMOTE_USER to.

I create a couple patches that will give you something morally
equivlent to CanonicalizeWebUser, they'll probably get added to apache
sometime. They can be found at http://rt3.fsck.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=2667
