Changes for version 0.79

  • implemented a simple caching mechanism in AuthenDBI as well as in AuthzDBI. Per default this cache is disabled and can be enabled by setting Auth_DBI_cache_time > 0. YOU NEED AT LEAST VERSION apache_1.3b6 !
  • applied patch from Jeff Baker <jeff@godzilla.tamu.edu> fix menu item for DBI connections that are made using the Oracle TNS listener.
  • implemented proposal from Leslie Mikesell <les@Mcs.Net> change group-handling in AuthzDBI. All groups related to the given user are selected at once and then put into a comma-separated list. This list is compared with the required groups. Depending upon the existence of Auth_DBI_grp_table, the SQL-select looks either in the pwd_table or in the grp_table for the groupid. PLEASE CHECK THE MODULE DOCUMENTATION AND YOUR .htaccess !
