Yeah, I think we do want to split out authn and authz first. At this point, my preferred ordering is: 1) split out authn/authz 2) add a generic ap_provider_* mechanism (avoids duplication with dav and auth) 3) add provider model to authn My one concern with your approach is that the naming of mod_access_dbm.c is awful. The code looks like it has the right concept though. I'm not sure I like mod_authz_dbm.c either. Hmm. But, frankly, I just can't come up with something better. Anyone else? I'm beginning to think that we're going to lose all hope of maintaining backwards compat with the current 2.0 auth. But, as Greg said, I definitely think that we're going is going to be an awfully nice place. -- justin
