The REMOTE_USER setting comes from the HTTP authentication (ie, password
protected directories); it sounds to me like you've changed from HTTP 
authentication to some other authentication (eg, the HTTPS
certificate), so the REMOTE_USER value isn't being set.  You'll probably
need to change your script so that it extracts the user from the other
authentication method.
