The problem is that I don't know how. I just read the information in the documentation http://webauth.stanford.edu/manual/mod/mod_authn_socache.html how to use it to cache credentials. I wrote my own caching algorithms for my module, but learned that Apache provides this funtionality already. Or at least part of it - as in user caching. That's why I thought of getting rid of my own caching (which caches users and group info) and make use of already available functionality. Why reinvent the wheel? I just can't figure out how to cache group info. My module is an authnz module, but I couldn't find an authz_socache variant. Is there something like that? Are there any examples? Maybe this is off topic here, but I'd appreciate any pointers. Cheers, K. C. -- regards Helmut K. C.
