The user attributes used with $WebExternalAuto are set in
Interfaces::Web::WebExternalAutoInfo. It's straightforward to overlay
that function. However, it does default to creating Privledged users,
so I'm not sure what you're seeing. Are the users actually created? Do
you have a strange ACL setup?

What do you mean failing? Looking at your httpd,conf snippet, I don't
see how apache would ever let you hit RT without a valid REMOTE_USER,
so WebFallbackToInternalAuth is never invoked, only WebExternalAuto.
