Summary0017872: AUTH_BASIC fails
Description

Using Debian 7, Apache2 and MySQL (updated to the most recent stable).
We use AuthMySQL to protect our folder and set $_SERVER{'REMOTE_USER'), which works perfectly on projects like MediaWiki and other company wide used tools. However, Mantis keeps to be the only remainig tool not being able to use a central user management (SSO) concept.

Steps To Reproduce

Protecting our mantis folder through AuthMySQL and configured config_ing.php to use

# --- authentication settings ---
$g_login_method = BASIC_AUTH;

Still, visiting the folder, it keeps displaying the default login page!

Additional Information

I've printed a debug message through the login_page.php to proove if HTTP_BASIC is set correctly (it displays true and '5' as enumeration).
I've also printed the 'REMOTE_USER' and there is 'holger' printed. So the pre-required step through AuthMySQL works. I've checked the /var/log/apache/error.log and other log files to make sure that there is everything working before mantis is requested to skip auth and use the REMOTE_USER.

However, it still fails.

I've set a user to the mantis database names holger - and it still fails.
I've set up a brand new environment from mantis 1.2.17 - fresh install, first configuration - again with AuthMySQL to the new folder - and the problem re-occured 100%. So it is absolutely reproducable.

I've again set up a brand new environment from mantis 1.2.18 - fresh install, first configuration - again with AuthMySQL to the new folder - and the problem re-occured 100%. I was curious if there was improvement through earlier reports, so obiviously there is not. Single-Sign-On stills seems to fail and be missing. So it is still reproducable.

I had the same problem on 1.2.19. I attached a simple patch that seems to solve the problem.

Note that it is not deeply tested. I am still evaluating side effects.

This seems to be the same issue as 0022398, so I'm resolving as duplicate. If this is incorrect, feel free to reopen with an explanation note.
