Logging on in Share based on HTTP headers

Hello Alfrescians,I had the impression that Share logged users in based on the configured header, X-Alfresco-Remote-User by default. In my test setup i did the authentication with basic authentication. In the final setup we will be using Open A-Select.Now it appears that Share is not logging in user

The share (client) web app does not pay attention to the X-Alfresco-Remote-User HTTP header. Only the alfresco (server) web app.

Share will pay attention to HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser() i.e. the REMOTE_USER CGI variable.

What does this mean? Is it possible to configure HTTP Header access. I'm trying to do this for Share 3.3 Community. See http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=26472
If it is possible, how do I do this?
