Trying to migrate an application to mod_perl under apache 2.2 but my custom auth handlers are blowing up on failure to understand '$r->requires' method. The best I can make of it is that apache 2.2 revamped the auth system requiring the definition of providers (like 'group' allowing the 'Require group xxxx' directive in the config file.
It seems then that I need to define my own authentication provider... perl-group? mycustomauth-group, so i can say Require mycustomauthgroup admin Thus get the proper ->requires information during the authorization phase for checking? David PS: I apologize for not being able to derive this answer from my search and browsing of the mailing list archives if the answer is in there. I found some that seemed exactly related to this issue under topic mp 2.0.3 make test fails against httpd trunk: Has authorisation changed since httpd 2.2 ? but was unable to find anything about actually defining these authorization providers... -- Dog approved this message.
