Yep, I can see what I should do now. For the benefit of others here are the
differences:
OLD STYLE
=========
<Location blah>
PerlAuthzHandler YOUR_MODULE->YOUR_METHOD
require user fred
require group fred
</Location>```
Then in your YOUR_METHOD you would do something like:
my $requires = $r->requires
process your requires ..
NEW STYLE:
==========
PerlAddAuthzProvider user YOUR_MODULE->YOUR_USER_AUTHZ_METHOD
PerlAddAuthzProvider group YOUR_MODULE->YOUR_GROUP_AUTHZ_METHOD
<Location blah>
require user fred
required group fred
</Location>```
And in your YOUR_MODULE:
sub YOUR_USER_AUTHZ_METHOD {
my ($self, $r, @requires) = @_;
}
sub YOUR_GROUP_AUTHZ_METHOD {
my ($self, $r, @requires) = @_;
}
Thanks, André for helping me finally solve this problem. From your link on
Apache-AuthCookie, I also found this:
http://search.cpan.org/~mschout/Apache-AuthCookie-3.23/README.apache-2.4.pod
and in there I read under APACHE 2.4 PORTING NOTES.
Thanks again,
Sergei
