Well i did try to access the link http://oskin.ru/mod_auth_oracle.html, but the page did not come up. I did find that there are modules for mysql & postgresql, but the application is running using oracle 10g. Authentication would be implemented in httpd by using custom made php script/pages. we need to eliminate the weblogic from authen/authoriz and have them in httpd & db. hope this helps..
