NAME

Apache::OpenInteract2::HttpAuth - Use HTTP authentication to check logins against OpenInteract2 users

SYNOPSIS

# In httpd.conf file, or in .htaccess

# People must login to get to anything under /foo

<Location /foo>
  # This is the normal OI content handler...
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler Apache::OpenInteract2

  # ...this is the auth configuration
  PerlAuthenHandler Apache::OpenInteract2::HttpAuth
  AuthName "My Site Authentication"
  AuthType Basic
  Require valid-user
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all
</Location>

DESCRIPTION

Simple Apache 1.x authentication handler that uses HTTP authentication rather than the normal cookie-based authentication. Fetch the user object with the given username from OpenInteract2 -- if it's not found then the request is denied. If the object is found and the passwords don't match then the request is denied.

Otherwise we store the fetched user object in the Apache property pnotes under the key 'login_user'. OI2 should handle this for you in its own authentication handler by first checking for this value in pnotes.
