different type of login with Apache::AuthCookie?
We currently use Apache::AuthCookie for authentication/authorization, and it works great. However, we want to make a change to how the login works. In addition to having Apache::AuthCookie intercept requests for URL's that require auth/authz, we would like to provide a signon area on the main page where the user can proactively sign in. Would this be as simple as setting the same cookie (using the same format, obviously) as Apache::Authcookie is looking for when signon occurs on the front page? Or, better still, is there a way using A:A itself to do this? Thanks! -klm.
Re: different type of login with Apache::AuthCookie?
Have that proactive signin area forward to a page behind Apache::AuthCookie protection and then have that page forward them right back to where they were? If you don't have frames that would be pretty easy. -Fran Ken Miller wrote: We currently use Apache::AuthCookie for authentication/authorization, and it works great.
