Several people have requested a mechanism for the login script to be
able to tell the difference between a failed login and a first attempt
at a login. Typically one can figure this out by whether a cookie has
been sent or not, so I've put some information to that effect in
$r->prev->subprocess_env(). See the login script docs for specifics.
I also cleaned up the documentation for the login script.
Version: 2.010 Date: 2000/06/17 01:37:16
(merged changes from sub-releases into main CVS branch. Been living
in CVS hell. My CVS-hubris got the better of me, tried to do things
with tags & soforth and wound up severely confused. Thus the version
numbers jumped a bit.)
Made some minor documentation updates.
Version: 2.009 Date: 2000/06/14 15:54:00
*** empty log message ***
Version: 2.008 Date: 2000/06/14 15:36:12
Instead of replacing the Set-Cookie header when we set the cookie, add
to it. This means we won't clobber other folks' unrelated cookies
when we set ours. It also means you need at least mod_perl version
1.24 (I think). [rlocke@infiniteinfo.com (Robert Locke)]
Version: 2.007.002.001 Date: 2000/05/14 18:06:30
Added a PerlSetVar *Cache parameter that you can set to a true value
to allow cacheing. Also removed cache control from regular requests -
cacheing still happens on login & logout. [asparks@cpd.harris.com
(Alan Sparks) and dtaylor@vialogix.com (Drew Taylor)]
Split off the login-form-displaying code into its own method, called
login_form(). Can be overridden in subclasses. The default method
uses $r->custom_response() to display the login. [richter@ecos.de
(Gerald Richter)]
Added documentation for the send_cookie() method.
Version: 2.007.001.001 Date: 2000/04/29 20:03:51
Created the send_cookie() method, which just creates the cookie and
calls $r->err_header_out to send it to the browser. It is
occasionally useful to override this method if you need to change the
value of the cookie before sending it out (for instance, to update a
timestamp). [mschout@gkg.net (Michael J Schout)]
Changed the _cookie_string() method to cookie_string().
Added a PerlSetVar configuration directive "{YourAuth}Secure" which
will secure cookies (i.e. only send them over a secure connection).
[mschout@gkg.net (Michael J Schout)]
Version: 2.007 Date: 2000/04/15 15:27:02
branches: 2.7.1; 2.7.2;
If the browser sends a cookie but it's not one related to our
authentication, we formerly sent a blank cookie to the authentication
methods. Now we act as if no cookie was sent.
[asparks@cpd.harris.com (Alan Sparks)]
Fixed a server error that occurred when a certain user was required,
but a different valid user was logged in.
[efujii@miis.edu (Eduardo Fujii)]
Added a couple more debug statements that can help figure out what's
happening when your auth isn't working.
Improved some of the docs.
Added some tricks to Makefile.PL to make my life easier.
Changed the action of the example login forms from LOGIN to /LOGIN.

Version: 2.006 Date: 2000/03/26 18:28:32
Added the key() method, which will return the user's current session
key, if any. This can be handy inside a method that implements a
C<require> directive check (like the C<species> method discussed
above) if you put any extra information like clearances or whatever
into the session key.
Added method-by-method documentation for each method in AuthCookie.
Version: 2.005 Date: 2000/03/24 15:20:30
Removed the deprecated methods ->authen and ->authz. If you have
configurations that use these methods, you must change to the newer
->authenticate and ->authorize methods.
Changed a couple of 'Sample's in the documentation to
'Sample::AuthCookieHandler'. [asparks@cpd.harris.com (Alan Sparks)]
Version: 2.004 Date: 2000/03/15 20:53:20
Added documentation about the ability to set cookie domains. That
ability actually appeared in 2.002, but I forgot to document it or add
notes to the Changes file.
Version: 2.003 Date: 2000/03/14 21:08:02
Now returns FORBIDDEN instead of AUTH_REQUIRED when authorization
fails or when a user tries to access a protected doc.
Version: 2.002 Date: 2000/03/14 17:46:42
Added an internal _cookie_string method that helps construct cookie
strings. This shouldn't change any functionality, but makes my job
easier.
Added a couple of Makefile.PL questions that set the user & group
tests should run under.
Version: 2.001 Date: 2000/02/11 04:46:59
The login forms may now use the POST method instead of the GET method.
This is a big deal, because with GET the user's credentials get logged
to access logs, they remain in the user's browser history, and so on.
Thanks to cholet@logilune.com (Eric Cholet) for the patch and prodding.
There is now a proper test suite, which will fire up an httpd and make
requests of it. The test code is adapted from Eric's old example
(eg/) suite.
I've added a logout() method to help unset cookies. The example
logout.pl now uses logout(). Thanks to Aaron Ross
(ross@mathforum.com).
Version: 2.000 Date: 2000/02/02 13:18:23
First released version, bumped up revision number to 2.0
Created indentify() and authorize() methods to replace authen() and
authz(). authen() and authz() are now deprecated and will disappear
in a later version.
AuthType can now contain colons [adi@certsite.com (Adi)]
Nonexistent method calls (via 'require' directive) are no longer
shielded in authorization stage - if it fails it fails, and you get a
server error.
Multiple 'require' directives should work now - previously only the
first directive was respected.
Changed lots of documentation to reflect the above interface changes.
