Authentication on our environment: 1) authenticate using user/password which will translated as hash value (unique value that will represent user session id) printed as xml response. 2) keep trace of user login using login_id + hash value (session id will be auto_increment primary key) into mySQL DB. 3) every time user want's to send change request, send this hash value which will be checked against the login table. 4) Apache has a global variables in Perl (most likely in other languages): $Request / $Response which have method "QueryString" that retrieves the arguments sent in http request.
example: 1) http://mysite.com?cmd=authenticate&user=xxxx&pass=yyyy 2) http://mysite.com?cmd=doSomething&uid=secretHash Best of luck Chanan On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 8:43 AM, Shlomit Afgin <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I want to build a script that only authenticate users can access. > > The authentication I want to use is Apache authentication. > > During the script I need to know the exact person that login. > > Is there any environment variable that keep this information? > > > > Thanks, > > Shlomit. > > _______________________________________________ > Perl mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl > -- =================== ---- Chanan Berler ---- =================== _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
