I followed the advice from this list and wrote mod_perl authentification- and authorization handlers to move this task from my application to apache. But now I have the problem that for this kind of authentification there is no 'logout' functionallity. How do others handle this problem? The best I could come up with was a tweak to the authentification handler that gives back an 401 error to everyone for the location /myapp/logout and then write my own error document for this location saying "Logout successful" or something like that. But still the user gets the pop up box from the browser to reauthentificate. Any better ideas?
The only way to get the browser to popup another authentication box is to send a different realm with the authentication request. But there is no way to tell the browser to 'forget' the username and password that the user typed in. This is one of the main reasons why so many people use cookie or URL based authentication schemes, since basic authentication is so limited. Check out Apache::AuthCookie for an apache module that uses cookie based authentication. Cheers, Cees
My second question is really off topic but perhaps someone can give me a short hint. I need a pair of multiple select boxes where one can move entries from one box to the other by clicking on an arrow button. There are some scripts out there that do what I want but I would prefer not to include many little script files to my application but rather do such stuff with the help of the big libraries like prototype and scriptaculous that I need anyway and that are well maintained. Does anyone know a solution based on one of these (or similar) libraries?
