[Mod-auth-devel] 0.0.7-test1 is ready

[Paul Q. <ch...@fo...>]

After much mucking around with libtool, I can build test1 on Lunar-Linux and
FreeBSD-CURRENT.

I have put it up on our webspace:
http://mod-auth.sourceforge.net/devel/mod_authn_dbi-0.0.7-test1.tar.bz2

It is currently running on the demo page using the original configuration (ie
it does work backwards compat nicely.)
http://force-elite.com:4080/

One other thing I added was making mod_authn_dbi reveal itself in the Server:
Header.  I don't know if we want to do this in the long run, but other modules
commonly do(mod_php, mod_auth_mysql.. etc.)

Server: Apache/2.1.0-dev (Unix) mod_ssl/2.1.0-dev OpenSSL/0.9.6i
mod_authn_dbi/0.0.7

forgot to add my todo list before -release:

- make a homepage for prorject:  http://mod-auth.sourceforge.net
   (Should we use XML like the Docurmentation? or just HTML/php?)

- Update mod_authn_dbi/README
- Update mod_authn_dbi/ChangeLog
- Update mod_authn_dbi/TODO (Set Goals for 0.0.8... any ideas?)
- Figure out why the export SED hack is needed for libtool.
- Tag RELEASE_0_0_7 In CVS.(currently -test1 is just HEAD)
- make a roll_release script. (I did it by hand this time, because I spent so
much time scewing with libtool)

Anything else you can think of Axel?

i would go for xml in the cvs tree and html in the tarballs
and on the website.

i comitted the first part of mod_authn_dbi yesterday evening, but
did not update the webpage.

i hope i can do the rest tomorrow or wednesday.
(i am pretty busy with uni & job at the moment).

one or two.

if possible, i would like to ad a way to decouple the username
that was entered by the user and the name that is used in apache
(logs etc).

maybe add a directive like

AuthnDbiAuthUsernameField

i have not really checked how this could be done in apache, but
i think it would be a nice feature to allow separate user/accounts
but make it look to any script/cgi like the same user looged in.

i have not really thought much about other features,
my main goal will be writing more documentation
and provide nice examples for nifty stuff to do
with the query-directive.

not at the moment, but.....

Thanks for all the stuff you have done, if you can't work on it, don't worry,
we got time on our side :) (httpd 2.1 isn't even in alpha yet!) (note to self,
i should bug dev@httpd about this...)

I will likely move some of the build/style stuff down to the root of the
htdocs so one script can build the whole website.(both the docs and general
website)

Not entirely sure what you mean by this?

In scripting you can pick up what the user authenticated as..
in php its the $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] var, and if a user authenticates with
authn_dbi first, this value will have what they authenticated with....
