total Newbie question

Good afternoon, all,

I apologize in advance for my ignorance. Please point me to the
correct place if there is a better location for me to post my question
to.

I have an HTML page, redirect.html, on a Linux server that is presented
after RSA authentication. I can edit this HTML page. I need to get
the validated userName to a ColdFusion page on a different Linux
server.

The environment variable Remote_User contains the validated userName
and is defined in that page, but I can't get to it with HTML or
Javascript. (Can I?)

So my idea was to redirect to a CGI script that could access
$ENV{"REMOTE_USER"} and them use this variable to post to the
ColdFusion page.

Does this make sense? How can I do this? I apologize for my
ignorance.

Any ideas, resources, war stories, or good clean joke would be greatly
appreciated,
Kathryn
