how to read username in IIS anonymous mode ?

hello...

user credentials are forwarded by ISA server. I can see encoded
password in headers so im sure that creadentials are forwarder
properly. but I can't see username.
When I switch server to authentication forwarded credentials are
properly used by server. So I think I need something special like isapi
to regenerate remote_user header

Everything works correctly if you configure IIS to use the forwarded
authentication protocol.

The problem is that you want a custom protocol where the front end and
back end use different protocols and require custom mapping. This means
that you have to provide a custom ISAPI to perform this mapping.
