=head1 NAME

Apache::MultiAuth - Choose from a number of authentication modules at runtime

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Put lines like this in your httpd.conf. In this example authorization is requested
for accessing the directory /test. First the credentials (username, password) are 
checked against the module Apache::AuthSybase and then against the module 
Apache::AuthenSmb. If any of them succeeds, access to /test is granted. 

  # in httpd.conf
  # Important : if not set apachectl configtest will complain about syntax errors
 
  PerlModule  Apache::MultiAuth

  <Location /test>
    AuthName Test

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Apache::MultiAuth allows you to specify multiple authentication
modules, to be tried in order.  If any module in the list returns OK,
then the user is considered authenticated; if none return OK, then the
MultiAuth module returns AUTH_REQUIRED and the user is reprompted for 
credentials. This, depending on the browser, results in a 401 authorization
required message.

This is useful for cases where, for example, you have several
authentication schemes:  for example, NIS, SMB, and htpasswd, and some
of your users are only registered in some of the auth databases.
Using Apache::MultiAuth, they can be queried in order until the right
one is found.

In the event that one of these modules returns OK, a note named
"AuthenticatedBy" will be set, which contains the name of the module
