NAME

Apache::AuthExpire - mod_perl handler to provide Authentication time limits on .htaccess protected pages.

SYNOPSIS

  In httpd.conf file:
	PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthExpire
	PerlSetVar DefaultLimit \<timeout in seconds\>

  Optional httpd.conf file entry:
	PerlSetVar TIMEOUT_DEBUG 1
	   Turns debugging on to print messages to server error_log

  Optional .htaccess entries: 
	PerlSetVar TimeLimit \<timeout\>
	    or
	PerlSetVar MODE off      #to turn off timeouts

DESCRIPTION

Simple mod_perl handler for the AUTHENTICATION phase to set a limit on user inactivity.
Will provide timeouts to any file under the protection of an .htaccess file, unless the 
'MODE' option set to anything other than 0 in the .htaccess file.  The 'DefaultLimit' is
set via the httpd.conf file, and unless the user specified 'TimeLimit' is set and less 
than the 'DefaultLimit', determines the length of time a user can be inactive.  This 
handler can be set anywhere an AUTHENTICATION handler can be specified.

EXPORT

None by default.
