Hi,
I'm writing my own
authentication module that uses Oracle and special encryption to handle
passwords, it uses pretty much the same code as AuthDBI except for a few
changes.
Everything was
running smoothly until I tried to make a mod_perl handler be the 401
ErrorDocument. If I do that, the authen handler returns 401 on every
request and the 401 page is displayed without ever popping up the auth
box. If I make the 401 ErrorDocument a regular HTML page, I will get the 3
chances at the popup box unless I do not send across a username and in that case
it goes straight to the 401 page (possibly a problem with my
code).
HOWEVER, if I use an
htpasswd file to do authentication and set the mod_perl handler to the 401 page,
it works perfectly.
Can anyone tell me
where I might be going wrong? I'm having a hell of a time tracking this
one down.
Thanks,
Brian Hann
