Apache::AuthenCache Description

Authentication caching used in conjuction with a primary authentication module (Apache::AuthenDBI, Apache::AuthenLDAP, etc.). Apache::AuthenCache is a Perl module that can be used for authentication caching used in conjuction with a primary authentication module (Apache::AuthenDBI, Apache::AuthenLDAP, etc.).SYNOPSIS # In your httpd.conf PerlModule Apache::AuthenCache # In httpd.conf or .htaccess: AuthName Name AuthType Basic PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenCache Apache::AuthenCache::manage_cache require valid-user # Limited to valid-user # Optional parameters # Defaults are listed to the right. PerlSetVar AuthenCache_CacheTime 900 # Default: indefinite PerlSetVar AuthenCache_CaseSensitive Off # Default: On PerlSetVar AuthenCache_Encrypted Off # Default: On PerlSetVar AuthenCache_NoPasswd On # Default: OffApache::AuthenCache implements a caching mechanism in order to speed up authentication and to reduce the usage of system resources. It must be used in conjunction with a regular mod_perl authentication module (it was designed with AuthenDBI and AuthenLDAP in mind). For a list of mod_perl authentication modules see:http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Apache/apache-modlist.htmlWhen a request that requires authorization is received, AuthenCache::handler looks up the REMOTE_USER in a perl-realm shared-memory cache (using IPC::Cache) and compares the cached password to the sent password. A new cache is created for the first request in a realm or if the realm's cache has expired. If the passwords match, the handler returns OK and clears the downstream Authen handlers from the stack. Otherwise, it returns DECLINED and allows the next PerlAuthenHandler in the chain to be called.After the primary authentication handler completes with an OK, AuthenCache::manage_cache adds the new user to the cache.
