I have used CAS myself, but instead of attempting to implement the server module for CAS authentication I used mod_cas. This might be an easier way of doing what you are trying to do.

This way you can keep the location as part of your config data.

Set AuthType to 'Basic' since it's not 'Digest'. And then AuthName can be whatever you want it to be. It's basically a way to group the locations that use the same Auth together (called a "realm"). > 3) Pass addtional parameters to the handler > solution -> in the httpd.conf block pass it as > > PerlSetVar CASHost "testCasServer" > PerlSetVar CASPort "8443" Yep. If possible keep the configuration data inside the configuration <Location>s. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP
