Yes. We have a monster patch ready for Gnatsweb 4.x which will be applied
by the end of this week, and this version will be able to use the "remote
user" parameter set at browser login. You'll just need to set a single
config parameter at the start of the Gnatsweb script. However, I am not
planning to backport this to version 2 of Gnatsweb, so you'll need to jump
up to GNATS 4 in order to use the new Gantsweb. Backporting would probably
not be hard (I don't quite remember exactly what the patch does wrt. this),
but I try to use the spare cycles I have to help getting GNATS 4 out of the
door.
