Hi Bruno,
I think that is the sort of thing I need. That sounds
pretty much equivelent to the Tomcat Filter.
Credentials will be stored on a database so fairly
easy to hook into.
I'm not sure what you mean by security boundary but
each request for a resource under the remit of Apache
will be individually authorised.
Presumably Apache must be used to lock down resources
based on dynamic things such as: - numbers of use of a
resource, or - time-based. Is this what you can add
with that mod? I wonder if there is anything
opensource out there.
Thanks alot Bruno. If you have any more details, that
would be great.
