Description: Apache/mod_perl Authentication and Authorization via cookies
This package contains a Perl module, Apache::AuthCookie, which can be
used to simplify the creation of mod_perl based web sites that require
user authentication. This module is used by various Web application
frameworks written in Perl.
.
Apache::AuthCookie allows you to intercept a user's first
unauthenticated access to a protected document. The user will be
presented with a custom form where they can enter authentication
credentials. The credentials are posted to the server where AuthCookie
verifies them and returns a session key.
.
The session key is returned to the user's browser as a cookie. As a
cookie, the browser will pass the session key on every subsequent
accesses. AuthCookie will verify the session key and re-authenticate
the user.
