I'd think you'd want to have the same authentication process for both, and a shared database (or something) to store the session data. Have the front-end do the login part, pass the client to the backend, which discovers that the client is already authenticated. Are you looking for something that's just a drop-in solution, transparent to the backend completely, not part of the backend software? I'd think in that case, you'd want something like PerlAuthenHandler and PerlAuthzHandler, let them manage the logins and just pass the client down to the backend software. I could still be way off here though. -- Michael Stella | Sr. Unix Engineer / Developer | http://www.thismetalsky.org -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
