OK, have heard nothing from other users on this list, but I have been
doing some debugging.

It seems that in "autohandler", the values for $user and $pass are Never
set.

Obviously, they are set from the form in Login, but I'm having a hard
time following things from there.
In fact, HOW does autohandler get called? If someone can decipher the
following line, this may help:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="<% (UNIVERSAL::can($r, 'uri') && ($r->uri) =~ m!.*/(.*)!) %>" >

Does this mean it goes to the document root for RT?
What is the flow from there?
