Hello,
I have a pretty standard auth setup:
.htaccess:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "restricted"
AuthUserFile /webs/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /webs/.htgroups
Require group readwrite
.htpasswd:
user1:.....
user2:.....
.htgroups:
readwrite: user2
readonly: user1
eat-bananas: user2
Now when I access the page, the authorization works fine and the login
I'm using to authenticate is stored in the env-variable REMOTE_USER by
Apache.
But where are the groups? Doesn't Apache store the groups attached to
the user in an env-variable? This would help me a lot because my
application needs to know which roles/groups have been assigned to the
user. So even while for login it is only required to be of the group
"readwrite" it would be nice to see for the application, that the user
has additional groups like "eat-bananas".
I hope I can rely on Apache for this, although it wouldn't be that hard
to do it on my own. I just wouldn't like to update users and
roles/groups in both, .htaccess files and source code of application.
Kind regards
Marten
