I'm experiencing the same problem. Getting the variable (REMOTE_USER) through a cgi-perl-script is no problem so I'm inclined to think that this is either a bug in the PL/SQL cartridge or in the owa_util package. I've just recently posted to this group, a couple of mailing lists and of course to Oracle support.

I'll post any answers I get to this group.
