Using form based auth, e.g. <Location /foo> AuthName "forms_foo" AuthFormProvider my_provider AuthType form AuthFormLoginRequiredLocation "/foo_form" Session On SessionCookieName foo_cookie path=/foo/;httponly SessionCryptoPassphrase somereallyneatandnicepassphrase SessionCookieRemove On Require valid-user </Location>
is it possible to "reuse" that session cookie for another path, e.g. /bar ? With "reuse" I think of sending out a session cookie for /bar as well as for /foo. This way, users logging in through form based auth on /foo will not have to log in on /bar as well. HTTP cookies do not allow for multiple paths, so if at all one would have to use multiple cookies. Since the cookies should carry session information I reckon they ought to be configured via mod_session_cookie but that module has no fitting directive. The only thing in mod_session_cookie close to what I'm looking for is AuthFormSitePassphrase but I do need auth checks in my custom provider to run (timeouts involved). Any suggestions on how to go about this ?
