I agree but look at the following scenario if User hits http://somedomain/test.pl?param1=x¶m2=y
and if a failure happens in the authenticate handler I need to redirect to http://casmachine:8443/cas/login?service=<above url> that is http://casmachine:8443/cas/login?service=http://somedomain/test.pl?param1=x¶m2=y even though the http://casmachine:8443/cas/login?service=http://somedomain/test.pl is static users might requrest for inner files. Hence it is not static Due to this reason I thought I cant use AUTH_REQUIRED and use ErrorDocument Please let me know above can be achieved even using errorDocument Thanks Michael Peters wrote: > > Tracy12 wrote: > >> 1) As we dont use the apache basic authentication but our CAS >> authentication.
