Hi there,
I am using Apache/1.3.22 (Unix) with mod_perl/1.26 and have just installed the
latest Apache::AuthCookie (3.06) and am building a custom AuthCookieHandler
building on an example from the Mason Book.
The Mason login form is being displayed correctly by Apache when accessing the
required resource, but I can't seem to actually authenticate properly. The
initial reason I get back from Apache::AuthCookie via
$r->prev->subprocess_env("AuthCookieReason") is the expected "no_cookie". So,
I then try to log in passing the required credential_ params back to the custom
AuthCookieHandler and get back from Apache::AuthCookie "bad_cookie".
So from the preamble to the newbie question! :
How do I go about getting more information back to my login form from Apache
using mod_perl in my custom AuthCookieHandler as to what the "bad_cookie"
message actually means without trying to decipher much of the magic in
Apache::AuthCookie?
The Apache::AuthCookie code says the following where "bad_cookie" is set :
# There was a session key set, but it's invalid for some reason. So,
# remove it from the client now so when the credential data is posted
# we act just like it's a new session starting.
and the pod says :
# The cookie the user presented is invalid. Typically this means that
the user
# is not allowed access to the given page.
Any help appreciated. I hope the question makes sense.
Thanks,
- Steve
