AuthenPasswd.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

Apache::AuthenPasswd with the B<require user> and B<require valid-user>
directives.  In the /etc/passwd and /etc/group 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::AuthzPasswd>.  Admittedly, AuthzPasswd
is a misnomer, but I wanted to keep AuthenPasswd and AuthzPasswd related,
if only by name.

I welcome any feedback on this module, esp. code improvements, given
that it was written hastily, to say the least.
