You only need PerlAddAuthzProvider if you have required something other than "user" or valid-user. There is a new version of Apache2::AuthCookie that will hit CPAN later today that addresses a few issues (notably, directory indexes were broken under Apache 2.4), but that doesn't sound like what you have been seeing. -- Regards, Michael Schout
Re: Looking for solution to Apache2::AuthCookieDBI authentication on Apache > 2.4
An FYI for others; the maintainer of Apache2::AuthCookieDBI replied to me with: "I have not done any work on the module in a long time, and don't feel I will put in much in the near future. It might be time to pass on maintenance of the module to someone else. Among other issues I no longer regularly work in an environment where this module is used so i have little or no easy way of field-testing it. I would be more than happy to review pull request for changes submitted on github though. The module is at: https://github.com/matisse/Apache-AuthCookieDBI and you or someone else can fork it, make changes in the forked copy and then submit a pull request for me to review and eventually merge. I will then take care f publishing a new release on CPAN." So I guess that's it, although I suspect the functionality of the moduel can be replaced with a combination of mod_authn_dbd and mod_auth_form at the Apache level. This still doesn't resolve my issues since I built additional functionality on top of his module... Tosh PS. He gave permission to forward his mail.
