modid: CGI::Htauth DSLIP: adpfp description: Authentication and encryption for http userid: PJB (Peter Billam) chapterid: 15 (World_Wide_Web_HTML_HTTP_CGI) communities: similar: rationale: CGI::Htauth offers a variety of authentication mechanisms to the CGI programmer. The main subroutine is &authenticate($config) simple router configuration, with different authentication modes to be offered to different IP addresses or ranges. Possible modes include allow, deny, password and challenge-response. CGI::Htauth uses Crypt::Tea, CGI::FormBuilder and CGI.pm.
