Did you restart apache to pick up the change? 

A: Yes I did.

The usual way is to either use Apache's basic authentication or load
an apache module that authenticates the way you want and sets
REMOTE_USER accordingly.  I am using mod_auth_pam on a RedHat box
which is configured to use either local system accounts or check
against a Windows domain but anything that works with apache should
work with RT.

A: I understand, but am not sure that any mod_auth_pam would work for our project. Now from your description it seems that you don't have a problem with your environment and you use REMOTE_USER through mod_auth_pam and a Windows domain controller. 
My questions arer:
