authentication

[Andy Farnsworth <fa...@stonedoor.com>]

Does anyone have a recommendation of documentation to read to get
Authentication setup correctly under Apache and mod_perl?  I have basic
authentication running just fine, but I want to use Authentication against a
PostgreSQL database and so I am attempting to use the Apache::AuthDBI module
and cannot get it to work.  I must be missing something simple that I just
don't understand.  A tutorial or example setup that worked would help a
great deal.

Thanks

chapter 13 of the mod_perl Developer's Cookbook 
(http://www.modperlcookbook.org/) talks about authentication in detail, as 
does the Eagle book (who has their chapter on authentication free online - 
http://modperl.com:9000/book/chapters/ch6.html)
