mod_authn_alias and mod_auth_mysql

[Jeff Williams]

Is it possible to use mod_authn_alias with mod_auth_mysql?

If so, can anyone provide an example?

It seems like if it did work, you would do this:

<AuthnProviderAlias baseProvider mysql_alias1>
    AuthMySQLHost localhost
    AuthMySQLUser myuser
    AuthMySQLPassword mypassword
    AuthMySQLDB webauth
    AuthMySQLUserTable user_pwd
    AuthMySQLNameField name
    AuthMySQLPasswordField pass
    AuthMySQLPwEncryption none
</AuthnProviderAlias>

<Directory /webpages/secure>

Order deny,allow
Allow from all

AuthBasicProvider mysql_alias1
AuthType Basic
AuthName test auth
Require valid-user

</Directory>

But this doesn't seem to work.  Also, I don't know what to put for baseProvider in AuthnProviderAlias tag. (Assuming it even can work)

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,

I don't know of anyone who's ever tried it.  As it seems modules must provide additional provider information,  I doubt mod_auth_mysql would work.
