hi, I have just subscribed to this mailing list, so I hope I'm doing everything right...
my problem: I'm running a reverse proxy with apache 1.3.x and mod_proxy on debian. For the authentication libapache-authensmb is used, so there's a connection to the domain controller present and working. Everything is fine, but for each request sent by the browser, the module needs to authenticate on the nt-domain. As I was told, the domain controller can't handle all the requests, so it's compareble with an DOS-attack. Because of this, the browser opens multiple times the popup for filling in the authentication data (although it's not necessary). To prevent this, I tried the following ideas I have found in the web: a) exclude images from being authenticated b) AuthenCache c) AuthzCache I've been searching for days in the web for a perfect solution, but all I've tried doesn't work as wanted. a) combined b) or c) makes it a little bit better, but still every second click opens the popup again. Now I'm trying to use PAM in hope it can do better then the rest. But it's not running properly at the moment... I think this problem is already OT, but I couldn't find the needed threads in the archives. It would be great, if somebody could give me some further information to fix this problem. regards mathias -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
