Apache::AuthCookie allows you to intercept a user's first
unauthenticated access to a protected document. The user will be
presented with a custom form where they can enter authentication
credentials. The credentials are posted to the server where AuthCookie
verifies them and returns a session key.
The session key is returned to the user's browser as a cookie. As a
cookie, the browser will pass the session key on every subsequent
accesses. AuthCookie will verify the session key and re-authenticate the
user.
All you have to do is write a custom module that inherits from
AuthCookie. See the POD documentation for more details.
Changes since 3.08:
- POD doc fixes.
- MP2: remove _check_request_req() - this was only necessary when
running under both MP1 and MP2. Package name change eliminates the
need for this.
- test suite converted to Test::More style test suites.
- descriptive test descriptions added
- make login() stash credentials in $r->pnotes("${AuthName}Creds") so
that the login form can access the user-supplied credentials if the
login fails.
- bug fix: use of Apache2::URI::unescape_url() does not handle
'+' to ' ' conversion. This caused problems for credentials
that contain spaces.
- MP2: remove mod_perl features from "use mod_perl2" line. This is
no longer supported by mod_perl2.
- MP2: _get_form_data() - switch to CGI.pm to handle form data (fixes
several form data handling bugs)
- In a subrequest, copy $r->prev->user to $r->user (or
r->connection->user for MP1).
- remove Apache2::AuthCookie::Util - no longer necessary
- multi-valued form fields are now handled properly in POST -> GET
conversion
- MP2: require CGI.pm 3.12 or later
