I've been using Apache::AuthDBI (and earlier, Apache::AuthenDBI) for a while, but never before have I used groups. I recently started trying to use groups, and with Apache::AuthDBI::DEBUG set to 2, I can get something like this in my error_log... 22310 Apache::AuthDBI::authz request type = >initial main< 22310 Apache::AuthDBI::authz user sent = >robf< 22310 Apache::AuthDBI::authz requirements: valid-user=>1< user=>< group=>admin< 22310 Apache::AuthDBI::authz user_result = OK: valid-user 22310 Apache::AuthDBI::authz return OK As you can see, Apache::AuthDBI::authz is getting the group name 'admin' from the database, but the group name isn't passed in to my CGI script (I'm using Apache::Registry) at all. Any hints where the problem might be? Is it a bug in Apache::AuthDBI?
