[users@httpd] apache server - username and password

[Senthil Nathan]

hi all,

my application running on Apache 2 on mod_perl 2 uses htaccess to authenticate. so i need to get the username and the password who is authenticated to login for passing it to a different command in the script.

i read something abt suExec, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/suexec.html

but the concept is not clear. so how to get the username and the password who logged in.

thanks
senthil
