NAME

Lemonldap::NG::Portal::AuthApache - Perl extension for building Lemonldap::NG compatible portals with Apache authentication.

SYNOPSIS

  use Lemonldap::NG::Portal::SharedConf;
  my $portal = new Lemonldap::NG::Portal::Simple(
         configStorage     => {...}, # See Lemonldap::NG::Portal
         authentication    => 'Apache',
    );

  if($portal->process()) {
    # Write here the menu with CGI methods. This page is displayed ONLY IF
    # the user was not redirected here.
    print $portal->header('text/html; charset=utf8'); # DON'T FORGET THIS (see CGI(3))
    print "...";

    # or redirect the user to the menu
    print $portal->redirect( -uri => 'https://portal/menu');
  }
  else {
    # If the user enters here, IT MEANS THAT APACHE AUTHENTICATION DOES NOT WORK
    print $portal->header('text/html; charset=utf8'); # DON'T FORGET THIS (see CGI(3))
    print "<html><body><h1>Unable to work</h1>";
    print "This server isn't well configured. Contact your administrator.";
    print "</body></html>";
  }

and of course, configure Apache to protect the portal.
