AuthenN2.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

_Every_ time a protected file is requested, this handler is invoked.
Depending on your configuration (how many controllers and default
domains you specify), and where the matching credentials are, it can
take a while.  This adds to your network and server load, as well as
bothering some users with the wait.  It makes sense to cache valid
credentials in memory so as to avoid invoking this expensive module
every time.  Luckily, Jason Bodnar already created AuthenCache.
Although written with AuthenDBI in mind, it works beautifully in this
case as well.  It is _highly_ recommended.  After installing it, you
need a few more lines in httpd.conf; to expand on the above example:

   PerlModule Apache::AuthenCache
   <Files *challenge*>
      AuthName 'your nt or nis+ account'
      AuthType Basic
      PerlSetVar NISPlus_Passwd_Table passwd.org_dir.yoyodyne.com
      PerlSetVar NISPlus_Group_Table group.org_dir.yoyodyne.com
      PerlSetVar NT_Default_Domains 'eng corporate'
      PerlSetVar NT_Controllers 'bapdc:babdc nypdc:nybdc'
      PerlSetVar AuthenCache_casesensitive off
