Package: libapache2-mod-auth-memcookie
Version: 1.0.2-5
Severity: wishlist

The description of libapache2-mod-auth-memcookie doesn't mention memcache. To
get an idea of what the package does, a user has to look at the upstream
website.

Maybe the description could be improved:


"Memcache-based Apache2 authentication and authorization module

AuthMemCookie is an Apache v2.0 authentication and authorization module based
on the cookie authentication mechanism. The cookie is checked against
information stored in memcache. The module also validates if the
authenticated user has authorization to access the url.

The authentication of the user is not done by the module itself, but by a
login script. This script saves cookie information in memcache. The login
page can authenticate the user with any authentication source (ldap,
file, database....) accessible to language of the page (php, perl, java...).

A sample ldap login page in php is included in the package."


Cheers,

Ivo De Decker
