NAME Apache::AuthenN2 - Authenticate into the NT and NIS+ domains SYNOPSIS #httpd.conf AuthName "your nt or nis+ account" AuthType Basic PerlSetVar NISPlus_Passwd_Table passwd.org_dir.yoyodyne.com PerlSetVar NISPlus_Group_Table group.org_dir.yoyodyne.com PerlSetVar NT_Domain domain_name PerlSetVar NT_PDC primary_server PerlSetVar NT_BDC backup_server PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenN2 require group eng require user john larry DESCRIPTION A quick fix to allow two otherwise incompatible populations in the enterprise (windows users and unix users) authenticated access to restricted applications offered via apache. Authenticate to an nt domain; failing that, try a nis+ domain. Note that this scheme is quite permissive. Either a valid nt username/password, or a valid nis+ username/password will allow access. This causes double exposure to poorly selected passwords. The nt part requires the Authen::Smb module. When Authen::Smb supports group authentication, I will add it to this module. The nis+ part requires the Net::NISPlus module.
