=head1 DESCRIPTION

=head2 Variables to set in the Apache configuration file

 The following are variables to be set in the Apache
 configuration file with the PerlSetVar directive.

=head3 generic_auth_cipher_key

 This is the encryption key used for encrypting the cookies used
 to verify authentication.  It must be 32 bytes (256-bit).  The
 encryption used is AES-256 and uses an SHA1 digest to verify
 data integrity.

=head3 generic_auth_failed_url

 This is the url users are be redirected to if they have not been
 authenticated (typically a login page).  This url can be
 relative.

=head3 generic_auth_allow_url

 This is a regular expression that will be run against the URI
 the user is trying to access.  If a match occurs, the user will
 be allowed through, as if the user had been authenticated.  This
 is useful for allowing the user to access the login page and to
 allow access to other public pages.

=head3 generic_auth_cookie_name

 This is the name of the cookie that will be used to verify
 authentication.  This must match the name passed to the
 generateAuthCookie() method when using a CGI script for the
 login process.

=head3 generic_auth_ref_url_var

 This is the name of the field the handler will use to pass the
 current URI to the authentication failed page.  This is useful
 for redirecting the user to the page the user was originally
 trying to access when prompted with the login page.
