Take a look at Apache::AuthCookie. >If possible, the system for authenticating / authorizing the user would also >redirect them to the appropriate directory for their site.

You might also look at Apache::AuthCookieURL if there's a chance that your users might not have cookies enabled. Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
