The problem, it seems, was that I was setting the variables used by the
module _after_ loading it, as in the example of its manual page:
PerlModule Apache::AuthCookieDBI
PerlSetVar BuscaWAPPath /
PerlSetVar BuscaWAPLoginScript "/cgi/login.pl"
# These must be set
PerlSetVar BuscaWAPDBI_DSN "dbi:Oracle:BW_CATALOG"
PerlSetVar BuscaWAPDBI_SecretKeyFile "/home/fxn/prj/bw/buscawap/etc/auth.key"
Apache::AuthCookieDBI reads its config variables in a BEGIN block. I
inserted a trace there and keys %{ Apache->server->dir_config() };
returned no variable set via PerlSetVar after that PerlModule directive.
So the hash %SECRET_KEYS, initialized there, had no entries.
Moreover, when I tried to access a protected URL as localhost/docs I was
redirected to /cgi/login.pl as configured (as you see, after PerlModule
as well), which confused me. I suppose this is so because the module
sees the variable at runtime, where the config file has been already
fully read.
Loading Apache::AuthCookieDBI after setting WhatEverDBI_SecretKeyFile
has solved the problem. I am doing something wrong or the example in the
manual page would need to be modified?
