Hi Larry,

thank you for the amazing new auth system, IMHO it really adds a lot of
value expecially for corporate users.

Recently we've spent quite some time trying to keep the server
documentation up-to-date:

http://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_server_support.html
(source:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/blob/master/source/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_server_support.rst
)

It would be awesome if you could keep the manual in sync by adding the
information about the new auth system (new ENV vars etc.).

Also, please make sure that the apache.conf examples are still basically
working.

Thanks!
