Hi.
I got some (as yet partial) answers on this on the Apache httpd forum.
Check out this :
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_auth_form.html
In summary, and subject to more confirmation by the Apache developers :
A series of new Apache modules is due to appear in Apache 2.4 (the next
"production" release version). They include mod_session and
mod_auth_form, which should provide a generic form-based authentication
framework.
These modules are currently available in the "test" version of Apache
(2.34). I do not know yet if they are, or can be, back-ported for
Apache 2.2.14, the current "production" version.
But all in all, it seems that this provides the as-yet missing standard
form-based authentication framework which would be needed by the
original poster on this thread, if he wanted to resolve his issue by
using an httpd front-end (which he uses anyway for other purposes right
now).
Well, at least it would be a start. It remains to be seen in detail how
one would set this up under Apache httpd.
