Hello,
I am working at a webbased file browser, where users will be able to access, rename, delete, etc files and folders. My question is, what is the best way to handle permissions / authentication with apache in a *nix environment? Basically what I am searching for is something that works roughly the same as the windows integrated authentication, where the commands executed on server-side are executed as the user with witch the session was authenticated and hence access is controlled by the usual file/folder permissions. So essentially, is there an authentication method that uses local users of the server and their passwords as credentials?
Thanks for any help!
