HTML form authentication for Apache

  • 772

I want to secure a part of my site served by Apache with an HTML form. Apache 2.3 has a module name mod_auth_form for this purpose. How do I do it on Apache 2.0?

I do not want to use HTTP authentication.

apache-2.2 authentication

  1. In older versions of Apache, you need to use basic/digest HTTP authentication or some kind of content management system with it's own auth system.

  2. I'm looking for solution to this problem too.

    After searching for some time, I found the solution called mod_auth_cookie_mysql

    With the module, you authenticate a user with MySQL, then set the cookie in the browser.

    When accessing a secured site, the module will verify the cookie with information in MySQL, and will allow authenticated user in.
