    For completeness, the module also handles require user and require
    valid-user directives.

  Apache2::AuthenNIS vs. Apache2::AuthzNIS

    The following comments are from Apache::AuthzNIS.

    I've taken "authentication" to be meaningful only in terms of a user and
    password combination, not group membership. This means that you can use
    Apache::AuthenNIS with the require user and require valid-user
    directives. In the NIS context I consider require group to be an
    "authorization" concern. I.e., Group authorization consists of
    establishing whether the already authenticated user is a member of one
    of the indicated groups in the require group directive. This process may
    be handled by Apache::AuthzNIS.

=head2 Apache2::AuthenNIS vs. Apache2::AuthzNIS

The following comments are from Apache::AuthzNIS.

I've taken "authentication" to be meaningful only in terms of a user and
password combination, not group membership.  This means that you can use
Apache::AuthenNIS with the B<require user> and B<require valid-user>
directives.  In the NIS context I consider B<require group> to be an
"authorization" concern.  I.e., Group authorization consists of
establishing whether the already authenticated user is a member of one of
the indicated groups in the B<require group> directive.  This process may
be handled by B<Apache::AuthzNIS>.
