Hi Randy,

Thanks for your comment.

I believe the OAuth2 middleware and client is functioning correctly and 
is setting the REMOTE_USER value as expected. But I guess the problem is 
because I recreate a new WebOb request object before returning a WSGI 
response. Also, I need to update the WSGI environment for each request 
in order to preserve the value of REMOTE_USER. However, i don't know if 
it's logical to recreate a WSGI request every time. Perhaps the solution 
would be to use a global request object...

Regards,
Etienne
