Hello Gerald,

I believe I am on top of my issues with NTLM. Everything seems to work
fine when httpd is in single user mode as the 1 process has an
understanding of what has been authenticated before hand & whethor it
needs to re-authenticate subsequent requests from the same browser/user.
ie with the request for one page there may be many items that need to be
sent  by the server (images, html,etc).


When we go to several httpd process, it appears that the response to one
request from a browser which may be made up of many files that need to
be sent back, these requests can be handled by any of the http processes
(which is ok by itself ) but when this occurs, a password request(and
perhaps an SMB query) is made for each of the httpd process. The httpd
processes appear to operate independently of each other, unless the
browser sends all its requests down the 1 tcp channel.

I have started to add to the code to log authentications to disc, so
that each httpd process can also reference this disc file to verify if
it has authenticated a user beforehand from another process.

I hope I am going about this the right way..


My more immediate problem is that I am currently losing the contents of
posted variables in a request packet whenever I use the AuthenNTLM
module, but when I choose to use the standard mod_auth,  my posted
variables get through everytime. This problem occured with the
AuthenNTLM code without any alterations. This problem is also
intermittant. 4 out of 5 time the problem will occur. By inserting the
line at the top of handler sub ' $printme = $r -> content ' I can see
the posted variables get though to the perl module .


Any ideas


Thanks

Adam
