On the other hand our current scheme uses require group xxx and I cannot seem to get validation done that way. I have this in a .htaccess file AuthType basic AuthName "djauth test" Require valid-user Require group XXX SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE djauth.settings PythonOption DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE djauth.settings PythonAuthenHandler django.contrib.auth.handlers.modpython I see the request for a user, but the validation seems to ignore the Require Group clause entirely. -- Robin Becker --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
