Changes for version 2.0
- Now owned by Ken Williams (ken@forum.swarthmore.edu)
- Created indentify() and authorize() methods to replace authen() and authz(). authen() and authz() are now deprecated and will disappear in a later version.
- AuthType can now contain colons [adi@certsite.com (Adi)]
- Nonexistent method calls (via 'require' directive) are no longer shielded in authorization stage - if it fails it fails, and you get a server error.
- Multiple 'require' directives should work now - previously only the first directive was respected.
Changes for version 1.3_03
- Make synopsis access control params match the example. Pointed out by tad@webcollective.com.
- Added <Files> to the .htaccess in the sample to enable ExecCGI.
- Nate Wilken reported that AuthCookie works as-is on Win32 with a post 1.10 version of mod_perl and post 1.3b5 version of Apache. (These versions add support for mod_perl's error_document method on Win32. For earlier versions, AuthCookie can be modified to use the ErrorDocument directive in the Apache config.)
- Cleanup "Use of uninitialized value" warnings sotted by Marlys Nelson <marlys.a.nelson@UWRF.EDU>.
Changes for version 1.3_02
- login.pl now uses $r->prev to get authtype and authname, so it doesn't have to be in the same hierarchy as the proctected docs. Thanks to Liam Kirsher <liam@numenet.com> for spotting this.
- Steve Shreeve <shreeve@meded.med.uci.edu> tracked down a segv from $r->err_header_out("Location"... I never could reproduce this, but he said this $r->header_out("Location"... worked.
- Fixed typo pointed out by Nate Wilken <wilken@mr_x.inre.asu.edu>
- Changed directory eg/sample to eg/unprotected for compatibility with windows pointed out by Nate Wilken <wilken@mr_x.inre.asu.edu>
Changes for version 1.3_01
- Fix error where the cookie wasn't printed when debugging was turned on.
- Consistantly treat the session key as a string. This meant a change to the authen_* function prototypes, you may need to change ones you've already written.
