$Id$ Apache::AuthCookieDBIRadius is a module that subclasses Apache::AuthCookie and is designed to be directly used for authentication in a mod_perl server. It is a ticket-issuing system that looks up username/passwords in a DBI database using generic SQL and issues MD5-checksummed tickets valid for a configurable time period. Incoming requests with tickets are checksummed and expire-time checked. Upon failure, it then checks a Radius server for authentication. You do not need to run a Radius server to use this. Actually, Radius authentication is commented out by default. Uncomment the Radius lines in AuthCookieDBIRadius.pm if you intend to use this method along with a DBI database. Most won't be using this method. You'll need to get Radius authentication working first before using AuthCookieDBIRadius. See Apache-AuthenRadius and Authen::Radius and http://www.funk.com/radius/. Included is a sample httpd.conf and login.pl for your review. Also included is a customized AuthCookie.pm. Replace with your existing AuthCookie.pm for added customized error messages and the added $TICKET environmental variable. It is currently in production at http://www.s1te.com/secure/.
