Currently LedgerSMB 1.3 requires a web server with a few very specific capabilities: 1) The ability to pass http authentication information to CGI scripts 2) The ability to run CGI scripts. Currently the way it is coded means we Microsoft IIS on Windows and Apache are both supported. IIS is the less flexible of the two and so auth passing was coded to that web server's expectations, with the current Apache configuration using mod_rewrite to mimic IIS in that regard. However if auth passing is possible even with differences, it should be straight forward to ensure that we can support it. If a web server does not support auth passing, it will not work with LedgerSMB 1.3.
