Apache::RequestRec::notes stays wrong usage
Hello,
I have installed
httpd-2.0.53 ---> Apache
mod_perl-2.0.0-RC4 ---> modperl
Authen-Smb-0.91
Apache-AuthenSmb-0.72
Apache-AuthenCache-1.00
I am getting the following error.
[Thu May 12 17:12:36 2005] [error] [client 135.43.15.119] Usage:
Apache::RequestRec::notes(obj, val=NULL) at
/raj/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/Apache/AuthenCache.pm line 302.\n
Following is the code at line 302
$r->notes('AuthenCache' => 'miss');
I am trying to configure the Apache-AuthenCache module in order to
have seesion timeout after specified time.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Raja

I don't think you understood what I was saying. Have you made any
effort to connect the sessions to SMB?
I meant for you to stop using AuthenSMB, take the SMB code from it, and
use that to write your own login system that is tracked with cookies
using Apache::SessionManager.
If you want to do it without writing any code, the only thing available
is Apache::AuthExpire, but it will not work with all browsers.

Perrin,
I have installed Apache::Session manger but somehow it is not working.
I am not being prompted for password after the specified timeout. Is
there a way to debug this issue. I have added the following in the
httpd.conf file
************************
PerlSetVar SessionManagerTracking On
PerlSetVar SessionManagerExpire 90
PerlSetVar SessionManagerInactivity 90
**************************
FYI:
I have added the following code to the Smb.pm script. I did this to
stop the password request popups in case of multi frame web pages
******************************************
use Fcntl qw(:flock);
open S, "> /home/gaccr1/fdmg/web2/logs/AuthenSmb.lck" or
die "Can't open AuthenSmb.lck: $!\n";
flock S, LOCK_EX;
close S;
************************************
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Raja

Apache::AuthenCache doesn't support mod_perl 2. You can try using it
with Apache2::compat:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/compat.html
However, this will not make sessions time out. All this module does is
cache auth from other modules, and the timeout setting relates to the
cache, not the session.
Making HTTP auth time out is not going to be easy. There is no reliable
way to invalidate auth credentials with all browsers. However, if this
is an antranet and you have control of what browsers are used, it may
work. Look at Apache::AuthExpire.
Alternatively, you could use cookies, with Apache::AuthCookie or
Apache::SessionManager.
