Summary: flexible tools for building custom basic authentication systems for the Apache HTTP Daemon
Description:
Mod_authnz_external and mod_auth_external are flexible tools for building custom basic authentication systems for the Apache HTTP Daemon. "Basic Authentication" is a type of authentication built into the HTTP protocol, in which the browser automatically pops up a login box when the user requests a protected resource, and the login ids and passwords entered are checked by Apache. Mod_auth*_external allows the password checking normally done inside Apache to be done by an separate external program running outside of Apache.
