[users@httpd] combining logins
Okay... here's one for the group.. ;)
I have a legacy web site and a new web site I'm trying to "combine", in some ways.
The old system uses auth_dbm with the browser prompting for user name and pw
on a protected status code. The new system will use cookies more than likely.
It would be "nice" if a person who sets a cookie on the new site is also logged onto the
old site, so that any links between the two sites carry the login status.
I might be wishing for the impossible, but is there a module anyone's heard
of that will query for both, header query or cookie,
accepting either one if it is available, that I could incorporate into Apache ( 2.*) ?
Any other ideas on this are also appreciated.
Thanks for any info,
-Dave

mod_auth_cookie does something similar to this.
