Lots of things could be better. To me it is clear that the overall system expects an AuthType to be set if you will be doing authn and authz. The error message is one indication of that IIUC, a normal authentication provider would check the configured authtype. So it would not be ideal for Lua to programatically configure it just because the hook has been implemented by a script. > And i am curious - why its dangerous?

To me It's dangerous because to me it looks like unintended/undesigned/undefined config/behavior in the area of access control and that error message is the hint. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
