UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? apache password authentication w/threads database?

I want to password some other directories on my server, using the registered board users.

More difficult, I would like to admit only certain members of a certain group called "members"

I found the following things on redhat linux
mod_auth_any-1.0.2-1
mod_auth_mysql-1.11-1

Basically auth_mysql seems to be mature standard code (still not sure if it works, anyone has experience?). It probably would work to admit ALL users, but not to admit only users belonging to a certain usergroup!!?

Auth_any seeems to be more obscure. It allows you to write your own code for authentication, the problem is I dont get it to work. I have contact with the module writers though. They first were helpful but did not answer any more for a while



AuthName "(auth any!!! ok)"
AuthType Basic
AuthAnyUserProg "./.verify"

require valid-user


AuthName "(MNA ID and Password)"
AuthType Basic
AuthAnyUserProg "/path/to/authClient your.webnis.server 65000"

require valid-user

<Directory /home/httpd/www3.angeles2.com/authAny>
Options ExecCGI
AuthName "(auth any!!! ok)"
AuthType Basic
AuthAnyUserProg "/home/httpd/www3.angeles2.com/authAny/.verify"

require valid-user

</Directory>
