<h3>Summary</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>This module provides authentication front-ends such as
|
||
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html">mod_auth_basic</a></code>
|
||
to authenticate users by looking up users in SQL tables.
|
||
Similar functionality is provided by, for example,
|
||
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code>.</p>
|
||
<p>This module relies on <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dbd.html">mod_dbd</a></code> to specify
|
||
the backend database driver and connection parameters, and
|
||
manage the database connections.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>When using <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html">mod_auth_basic</a></code> or
|
||
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code>, this module is invoked via the
|
||
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></code> or
|
||
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html#authdigestprovider">AuthDigestProvider</a></code>
|
||
with the <code>dbd</code> value.</p>

|

|
||
<p>Some users of DBD authentication in HTTPD 2.2 have reported that it
|
||
imposes a problematic load on the database. This is most likely where
|
||
an HTML page contains hundreds of objects (e.g. images, scripts, etc)
|
||
each of which requires authentication. Users affected (or concerned)
|
||
by this kind of problem should use <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_socache.html">mod_authn_socache</a></code>
|
||
to cache credentials and take most of the load off the database.</p>

If httpd was built against <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#apr" title="see glossary">APR</a> version 1.3.0
|
||
or higher, then whenever a query is made to the database server, all
|
||
column values in the first row returned by the query are placed in the
|
||
environment, using environment variables with the prefix "AUTHENTICATE_".
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>If a database query for example returned the username, full name
|
||
and telephone number of a user, a CGI program will have access to
|
||
this information without the need to make a second independent database
|
||
query to gather this additional information.</p>
|
||
<p>This has the potential to dramatically simplify the coding and
|

configuration required in some web applications.
