=head1 SYNOPSIS

Because it's difficult to have an up to date authentication backend, this module aims to authenticate against Sympa mailing lists server.

Sympa mailing lists server has got its own authentication system and can be queried over a SOAP interface.

It is based on a basic HTTP authentication (popup on client side). Once the user has authenticated, the REMOTE_USER environnement var contains the user email address. The authentication module implements a SOAP client that validates user credentials ...
Sample httpd.conf example:

    <Directory "/var/www/somwehere">
    AuthName SympaAuth
    AuthType Basic
    PerlSetVar SympaSoapServer http://mysympa.server/soap
    PerlSetVar MemcachedServer 10.219.213.24:11211
    PerlSetVar CacheExptime 3600 # in seconds, default 1800

    PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthNSympa

lib/Apache2/AuthZSympa.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

    PerlSetVar CacheExptime 3600 # Cache expiration time in seconds for the cache server (default 1800)

We provide a working example of a web page that has a restricted access for members of test@cru.fr mailing list only. You should subscribe to the test mailing list if you wish to try it : http://listes.cru.fr/sympa/info/test

The following page will request your email address and Sympa password : http://www.cru.fr/demo_authsympa/
