Hello. I'm looking for a script, and definitly willing to roll my own, that interacts with htaccess. It is quite simple to validate user input against the .htpasswd file and authenticate them into a given directory. But i need Apache to accept the user as a valid user, and not repompt with the basic HTTP Password challange.
This used to be very simple, yet not all that secure, just using JavaScript, but since the February patch to IE 6 it failes with that browser, which unfortunately is a good amount of user traffic ...why when theres FireFox? ;) This is all so users can login to their respective folders using a form in lieu of the browser-based login....and i'd rather do it a completely different way( or just have them use htaccess), but alas, its not up to me... Any ideas/input would be appreciated. I did find a lot of info googling, most of it pre 2000...but i'm off to do more.... Confirmation that this is bad idea, is fine as well....
