Password protection without the use of .htaccess

2002-09-02 Thread Alex Agerholm 

Hi,

Can anyone direct me to some good source code example, on how to password
protect some CGI scripts.
As I want the solution to be portable, I do not want to use .htaccess.
I would prefer som code to make a login page and verify the username and
password against a SQL database, then set a cookie with an ID of the logged
in user. And on all protected scripts simply call a check function that
lookup the ID in the SQL database to see if it is legal and if not redirects
to the login page.
Any other sugestions are welcome

if you're running mod_perl, there's apache::authticket.  it does exactly 
what you want.
