Hello all I am writing a Perl module to authenticate users (using mod_perl2 and httpd 2.2.6. I would like to display the user name (r->user) when accessing a directory (/test_index/index.html)
I have the following httpd configuration <Location /test_index> DirectoryIndex index.html Options +indexes </Location> PerlModule Test <Location /test_index/index.html> Require valid-user AuthType basic AuthName test_index SetHandler perl-script PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthSSO::Test->set_user PerlResponseHandler Apache2::AuthSSO::Test->display_user </Location> In addition, I added an empty index.html file in the htdocs/test_index directory The Perl Test module is package Test; use warnings; use strict; use Carp; use Apache2::Const qw(:common); sub set_user { my ($self, $r) = @_; $r->user('myself'); return OK; } sub display_user { my ($self, $r) = @_; my $user = defined $r->user ? $r->user : 'user is not defined'; print $user; return OK; } 1; When I access with my browser to http://localhost/test_index/index.html, user is set to 'myself' BUT when I access with my browser to http://localhost/test_index/ ... user is not defined !!! I don't know if the problem comes from mod_perl or from the httpd configuration. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
