Re: Re: Calling script after htaccess authentificationby Xxaxx (Monk) |

Since I've seen warnings within the pages of Perlmonk that $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} can be spoofed I'd rather not use that. And I don't believe it could answer the whole problem in any case. I'm simply trying to find a means to avoid a double login process on a system which requires some directories be password protected using the standard htaccess authentification and some content be password protected through Perl scripts which then assemble dynamic reports to be sent to the browser. If not for the fact that I've heard rumors from two different sources that this is possible without mod_perl I'd give up the quest and just force the users to live with the logging in twice problem. If anyone knows for a fact that this is not possible I don't mind taking the bad news to my boss. I just don't want to be sitting there with egg on the face when somewhere out of the woodwork comes the news that it's easy if you just do ..... In any case, I hope that somewhere within these words I've clarified the point. Claude
