Apache HTTPD 2.4 URL Rewrite Rules

I've upgraded from Apache 2.2 to 2.4 and all but one type of my URL rewrite rules are working as expected. It appears that the following rule isn't working. I removed the IP address for security purposes.

RequestHeader unset Authorization RewriteEngine On RewriteRule /xmldb/VATIncidentPoint/(.*)$ http://x.x.x.x:8080/exist/rest/db/VATIncidentPoint/${user2group:%{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}}/$1 [P]

It appears what's happening is that the section including user2group is not getting replaced with the group that the user is a part of. This results in 2 slashes at the end of the url instead of getting replaced with the group '//'. Is there a different way to do this in 2.4 than there was in 2.2?

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE - After enable logging for mod_rewrite I was able to see that the REMOTE_USER variable isn't being set. That is why the lookup in the user2group map is failing. Any ideas why this variable isn't working for Apache 2.4. I know it works on 2.2 and I read about using it here: httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html – Jason King

The issue was that in the Location block there was 2 require statements.

Require all granted AND Require valid-user

This was causing the REMOTE_USER value to never be looked up and therefore causing nothing to be returned from the map. Removing 'Require all granted' and leaving 'Require valid-user' solved the issue.
