Hi,

... it would be nice to be able to do this directly, as you stated. But I
think you can already make this work, albeit via a detour, by using a
database based authentication mod for Apache, and by modifying the
database through JDBC. for mySQL, you can find the mod and the JDBC driver
to try it out...


   APACHE ---- MOD_AUTH*
         |                           |
    JSERV                database
         |                           |
    servlet  ---------- JDBC

e-gret,
 D
