modules and removing the deleted ones; renaming mod_auth_anon->mod_authn_anon, and mod_access->mod_authz_host. All docs to the old modules are now deleted. Translations were kept with their old modules. (Can't read Japanese.) git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk@97123 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68

<summary>
|
|
<p>This module provides authentication front-ends such as
|
|
<module>mod_auth_digest</module> and <module>mod_auth_basic</module>
|
|
to authenticate users by looking up users in plain text password files.
|
|
Similar functionality is provided by <module>mod_authn_file</module>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When using <module>mod_auth_basic</module> or
|
|
<module>mod_auth_digest</module>, this module is invoked via the
|
|
<directive module="mod_auth_basic">AuthBasicProvider</directive> or
|
|
<directive module="mod_auth_digest">AuthDigestProvider</directive>
|
|
with the 'dbm' value.</p>

<usage>
|
|
<p>The <directive>AuthDBMUserFile</directive> directive sets the
|
|
name of a DBM file containing the list of users and passwords for
|
|
user authentication. <em>File-path</em> is the absolute path to
|
|
the user file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The user file is keyed on the username. The value for a user is
|
|
the <code>crypt()</code> encrypted password, optionally followed
|
|
by a colon and arbitrary data. The colon and the data following it
|
|
will be ignored by the server.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Security: make sure that the
|
|
<directive>AuthDBMUserFile</directive> is stored outside the
|
|
document tree of the web-server; do <em>not</em> put it in the
|
|
directory that it protects. Otherwise, clients will be able to
|
|
download the <directive>AuthDBMUserFile</directive>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Important compatibility note: The implementation of
|
|
"dbmopen" in the apache modules reads the string length of the
|
|
hashed values from the DBM data structures, rather than relying
|
|
upon the string being NULL-appended. Some applications, such as
|
|
the Netscape web server, rely upon the string being
|
|
NULL-appended, so if you are having trouble using DBM files
|
|
interchangeably between applications this may be a part of the
|
|
problem.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A perl script called
|
|
<a href="../programs/dbmmanage.html">dbmmanage</a> is included with
|
|
Apache. This program can be used to create and update DBM
|
|
format password files for use with this module.</p>

<p>Sets the type of database file that is used to store the passwords.
|

The default database type is determined at compile time. The
|
|
availability of other types of database files also depends on
|
|
<a href="../install.html#dbm">compile-time settings</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is crucial that whatever program you use to create your password
|
|
files is configured to use the same type of database.</p>
