Drupal 'webserver_auth'<title> </head><body> <h1>Drupal 'webserver_auth'</h1> <h3>Motivation</h3> <p> Drupal 5.x has a module 'webserver_auth' that allows native webserver authentication methods to be used to authenticate users for Drupal. Unfortunately this module has not yet been ported to Drupal version 6.x; this patch attempts to rectify this problem. </p> <h3>The Solution</h3> <p> This patch fixes up the webserver_auth module to work with Drupal version 6.x. Fortunately it's quite a straightforward change. <p> Here is the most recent version of the patch: <ul> <li><a href="webserver_auth-6.2.patch">webserver_auth-6.2.patch</a> The most recent version, tested against Drupal 6.2 on Apache 2.2/PHP5.2.4 </ul> <p> All versions of the patch are listed <a href="all-versions">here</a>. Some may work better than others. </p> <h3>Installation and Configuration</h3> Apply the patch against the most recent version of the webserver_auth module (in CVS). <h3>Possible Bugs</h3> I don't have a great deal of understanding of how Drupal works. All improvements, suggestions and other types of feedback are welcome. <hr> <div align=right> <em><a href="/mailto/steveb">Steve Bennett</a> <br> last updated: 22/05/2008</div> </body> </html>
