Logging authentication requests

[Dave Ingram <da...@dmi.me.uk>]

Hi all,

Just thinking about logging...

Is it currently possible to log authentication requests (ideally both
success and failure, individually)? If not, is it possible? And where
should the module fit into the authentication chain? Is this related to
Rick Houser's earlier posts about "wrapping an existing hook"?

Meant: is it currently possible to do this with Apache 2.2 (perhaps
using an existing module)? If not, is it even theoretically possible?

Given what I learned writing my module, that would certainly work.  I
think you'd be hooking check_user_id with the very first call that
happens in that phase.  That said, I don't know if there might be a
better way to handle this... 



Thanks,
