REMOTE_USER autocreate option
-----------------------------

The external authentication integration system (popularly named
``REMOTE_USER``) has gained a new toggle ``autocreate`` in the
``[remote-user]`` section of :file:`webfront/webfront.conf`. This option is
``False`` by default, meaning that externally authenticated users will not be
allowed to use NAV unless they have already been pre-created in the user admin
panel.

This changes the old behavior, in where any unknown user referenced in the
``REMOTE_USER`` header by the web server is automatically created in NAV. If
you need the old functionality, you need to set this option to ``True``.
