You will clearly want to do some investigation on the .htaccess side of how your apache is configured. hence since we authenticate against a radius server I use things like ### AuthType Basic ### AuthName "Wetware Services" ### AuthAuthoritative off ### AuthRadiusAuthoritative on ### AuthRadiusActive on ### require valid-user in the .htaccess - and leave all of the heavy lifting to the debate between the WebFascists and the RadiusServerFascist as to how they wish to interoperate with the NIS_Fascists and the ActiveDirectoryFascists. { if you happen to be all of these as well as the coderPerson - then do what I do in those cases, take yourself out for lunch, have a serious discussion about your policy position, and write it off as a bizniz expense, but make sure that you retain the 'minority opinion' in case you need to have leverage to manuever yourself later on during the basic inter-office politics. } At which point by the time they get to actually RUNNING my little cgi - I don't have to worry about it - as the JackBootedThugs have already done their dancing. If on the other hand you have to 'key' on the 'user' - pull down: http://examples.oreilly.com/cgi2/ { and buy the BOOK - read it } you will want to play with the dope that comes in: #!/usr/bin/perl -wT # Print a formatted list of all the environment variables use strict; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; my $var_name; foreach $var_name ( sort keys %ENV ) { print "<P><B>$var_name</B><BR>"; print $ENV{$var_name}; } so that you understand what is being passed to you in %ENV from your server.... { that is in chapter 3 } ciao drieux --- "I am not an AI - but you may be a rat in a Turing Test." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
