You can associate a handler (custom program) with the
directory or document types and get that to do the
checking transparently (no need to code a reference to it
anywhere other than in the config or .htaccess file)
Take a look at the AddHandler / SetHandler directives.

Subject: Problem with user autehntication
Hi
I am new to apache as part of project we are using apache as the
web server and i really love apache Open software
I have some problem with user authentication
As part of our project we have to provide user authentication
when the user clicks on the download link of a file
each user is mapped to set of roles internally and based on these
roles we protect and give permissions to the directory I mean which
role has access to which directory
Now I want this functionality that whent the user clicks on a
download link in the page ( which is our project based page)
a c code should take the information from the HTTP header we
are writing user role :password to the header check compare it with
our configuration file that resides in the web server and give access
to the documents
See the problem comes because we have multiple user roles so
when a user logs in and he has multiple roles
we write role1,role2;password . So the problem is before the
user gets a chance to download the document i wan tto authorize
wheter he can really do it or not in a customised way can i do it in
Apache if so please expalin
Thanks
Mouli
