Dear Experts,
A few days ago I posted a question with this subject on the users
lists, but have got no replies:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.user/69944
The summary is:
- Currently I'm using 2.0 with a 3rd-party mod_auth_pgsql.
- In 2.2 I would presumably use the core DB-backed auth framework.
- As far as I am aware, the core DB-backed auth modules don't implement
caching of credentials. The 2.0 mod_auth_pgsql that I'm currently
using does have this, and it's essential for my application.
- There is a mod_authn_cache at
http://mod-auth.sourceforge.net/docs/mod_authn_cache/ but it looks a
bit abandoned; does anyone know anything about it?
- Ideally I would also want the cache to be flushed when the database
is changed; this could be done using PostgreSQL's asynchronous
notification feature. I imagine that I would have to do this myself.
I mentioned this here ages ago when I first considered moving to 2.2:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.devel/23903/focus=23904
If anyone would be interested in helping me implement this I would love
to hear from them.
Any thoughts anyone?
Regards,
Phil.
