[undertow-dev] Can't get remote_user with basic auth

Hello, I'm having troubles getting the remote_user cgi variable when using
basic authentication.  The basic auth itself seems to work fine.  The
browser challenges me, I enter a user/pass, and the page loads.  However
request.getRemoteUser() is returning null.

Here is the bits that are setting up the basic auth handler:
https://github.com/cfmlprojects/runwar/blob/master/src/runwar/security/SecurityManager.java#L24

I've Googled quite a bit and I can't find any guides that indicate that
anything special needs set up for remote user to be available.  I also
found the exchange attribute class for remote user in Undertow, but can't
find any docs or guides at all that indicate how it is to be used or if I
need to be doing anything with it in regards to basic auth.

Can someone provide a sanity check on what is missing for the remote user
to be available?

Using Undertow 1.4.11.Final

Thanks!
