Re: Authentication using NIS

[Rod Butcher]

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

Subject: 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

That's a strange way to specify a directory...

do you mean Location /guts? or do you actually have an alias to /guts on
your filesystem, plus the PerlRequire seems a bit whacky (/..?)
