Is it possible to *set* Apache credentials via PHP? I know you can
read Apache credentials from PHP, but I want PHP to tell Apache that a
session is authenticated.
Essentially, I want to do with an HTML form what Apache accomplishes
with a pop-up window.
Why? Because in addition to authenticating them, I need some other
information, and having (1) a pop-up window that auths them to Apache,
then (2) an HTML form to capture the additional info, would be awkward
from a usability perspective.

You cannot set credentials in Apache. You set credentials in a browser,
which presents them to Apache (and eventually to PHP).

Apache does not do pop-up windows. Browsers do pop-up windows.

Information you can set in a browser include cookies, parameters on a URL,
and indirectly you can use session data. us****@isotopeR EEMOOVEmedia.co m wrote:

Check out http://us.php.net/features.http-auth
Did you actually read this? It doesn't do anything like what he wants.
That's because it can't be done. Authentication/Authorization is
strictly between the browser and the webserver. PHP doesn't get
involved at all.
However, you can create your own authentication mechanism using session
and collect and store whatever data you want. It's pretty easy, really.

Hi,
This is just an info. Maybe someone finds it useful.
I've written an Apache module using IBM DB2 as the backend database for storing user and group information.
The module is designed for Apache 2.x and 1.x and supports several encryption methods.
I also provide UDFs for DB2 to generate passwords within DB2. They are compatible to the functions
that are used in Apache's htpasswd utility.
Caching of user credentials is supported...
