TicketAccess (was: Re: UN-Authenticating users?)

[Michael schout <ms...@gkg.net>]

Speaking of TicketAccess...

Ive implemented a variant of TicketAccess/TicketMaster
from the ideas in the Eagle book as well as ideas of
other people that I found in the list archives.

It seems that several people have implemented this sort
of system.  If there is interest, I would be willing to
package this up and put it up on CPAN. I think it would
probably be useful.  Ive written it so that 
Apache::TicketTool can just be subclassed to customize
behaviour, and overload the generation of pages that the
user sees.  

My differences from the Eagle book basically are that I 
store the "secret" via DBI, and I use $r->remote_ip to
get the user's ip address instead of just reading it 
off of the Cookie.  Also, I have made it much more 
configurable, and moved several things to 
Apache::TicketTool so that most anything can be
easliy customized by overloading methods in 
Apache::TicketTool  and setting the dir_config item
TicketToolClass to the name of your new package.

Anyways, would anyone be interested in seeing this
packaged up and put on CPAN?  I could post POD docs 
for the three modules if people would like to see 
that.  Let me know :)

Thanks.
Mike

Well,

Based on the response I have gotten already, it looks like
there is sufficient interest to put this thing on CPAN.

I've sent out the link to where people can download it to
a handful of people privately.  Assuming everything goes
well for those people, I will finish up the documentation
and try to get it entered in CPAN sometime this weekend :)

Hi Michael!

 I would certainly be interested. If you send me a copy of the modules 
privately, I would be happy to try them out.
