I have it over the entire site - ie all Locations. The rpm created /etc/httpd/conf.d/zzz_otrs.conf - so it's the last conf to be parsed, and it contains non Auth references - so it should get what everything else gets. Also, I created "/opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/test.pl" and that does not show REMOTE_USER, but /var/www/cgi-bin/test.pl does

BTW I just install rtir (another perl-based ticketing system) and it's working just fine (ie it can see REMOTE_USER). mod_perl based too. So there is something specific to otrs.

The install seems to use mod_perl (I can see MOD_PERL defined) - but /var/www/cgi-bin does not use mod_perl (that var isn't showing) - so I suspect that's involved - but I don't know how...

Without knowing you configuration mod_auth_openidc it’s hard to say. E.g. did you cover the location /otrs/index.pl with AuthType openid-connect and in which order are the configuration files processed.
