Hello Andreas,

NAK.

Why should the user/password-informations I typed in for auth url
https://www.myserver.com/server-info be passed to a subsequent call of
https://www.myserver.com/tests/php-info.html, which is'nt in any acl-set 
and could be accessed a first time without these informations?

The server should only request auth-infos for /server-info and nothing
else - should'nt request or pass auth-infos to a non-auth area like
/tests/ here.

My ACL's for your understanding:

- whole server 
    SSLRequireSSL
    none of auth-stuff
- <Location /server-info> only
    AuthName "LDAP Directory"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthLDAPURL ...

So, why should netscape/server request auth-informations for /tests/ and
pass them to php4-skript php-info.html on the second of mine requests?
That's stupid and a possible security whole (because
plaintext-password is passed to lower layers like php4) IMHO.

Oh' - just when I typed these message a hint from Aidan comes in
referencing http://www.php.net/bugs.php?id=8827 and
http://www.php.net/bugs.php?id=7774. Yes, that's one of the problems, thnx
Aidan.

On the other hand (passing PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW to php4 when
external authentication already occured), the problem of passing these
informations on the second request (of a non-auth-area!) is mysterious
too.

Okay, let's wait for a bugfixed (?) version of php4. Yesterday I've
already patched my php4, so that always the PHP_AUTH_PW is set to
NULL &-).

Greetz,
