Yes. Authuser.php currently doesn't set $AuthId unless it has
something to authenticate people against. So, unless $AuthUser
is set prior to including authuser.php, it's essentially a no-op.
If you're wanting to use Apache's authentication (i.e., REMOTE_USER),
then you probably want httpauth.php instead of authuser.php.
