PS: Basic Apache authentication using cookies

[Michael James]

A bit of searching has found an Apache module
 that does authentication using cookies:

	http://www.frogdot.org/mod_auth_mda

Everything else I saw was pre apache 1.3
 and wanted to be compiled in statically.

This compiles as a shared library.

It has the added security of including the IP address of the client,
 so cookies are not transferable.

It hashes the cookie to avoid tampering.

Cookie can be encrypted.

CGI and java servelet tools are provided to set the cookies.

Anyone used this?
