Authentication using NIS
Hi Gurus.. I have got modperl installed on my system. When i check the error_log file, it shows that apache_1.3.19 installed mod_perl-1.25 installed. Now in httpd.conf i write the PerlRequire /../../../../startup.pl Directory /guts AuthName NISAuthentication AuthType Basic PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenNIS require valid-user /Directory When i browse for the index.html present in guts it is not asking for authentication, and just displaying the page. I dont know whether the Apache::AuthenNIS handler is being called or not, but the server gets started without any errors. Any hints Thanks and Regards Qazi _ Chat with your friends as soon as they come online. Get Rediff Bol at http://bol.rediff.com
Re: Authentication using NIS
I seem to remember having a similar problem with Apache::ASP and index.html (i.e. the default page) when I accessed the site as http://xyz.com/ until I replaced Directory... with Files ... to specify pages to be processed by the handler. Do other pages get processed correctly ? At the time this seemed to me to be a bug in Apache... regards Rod - Original Message - From: qazi Ahmed [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2001 8:36 PM Subject: Authentication using NIS Hi Gurus..
