well, at least for compiling, i like to have docs around
that i can read without a webbroswer.

the other documentation can go into the website.


what are your plans for mod_authn_mysql/mod_authn_pgsql?
do you want to keep them parallel to mod_authn_dbi to have
a way to authenticate against them witout having to use
libdbi or to use special features of the db or will
you phase these modules out?


i saw that you marked a few of the configuration directives
as depreciated. do you plan to remove them?
at least AuthnDbiPasswordField would have to stay for the moment,
it is not only used in populate_querystring but also to
pick the password field from the result of the SQL query.

and i would like to keep the other directives as well. they are a
nice lightweight way to configure it without having to fiddle
with the query.


what will happen to the mod_authn_dbi site at cyanworlds?


when we have the first realease out, we should probably change
the entry in the module-registry to point to the new site too..




tty, axel
