[users@httpd] group environment variable or somesuch
How do find out -- from a script or SetEnvIf perspective -- which Group a user has been authenticated under? I'm using basic authentication with group and username/pw files. Can't find anything in mod_auth or mod_setenvif or environment variable docs...
Thanks,
Nathan Folsom-Kovarik

I'm assuming you meant mod_setenvif -- but I've already looked into that. I
can't see any way to specify "group". Of course, "user" is easy, but that
doesn't help.
Plain old SetEnv is not conditional on request and doesn't help.
I can't hack mod_auth, that's not a solution my boss would accept.
Any other ideas? Mainly I'm looking for something like
SetEnvIf Remote_User "myuser" new_var=myuser
except with _groups_. Something that was standard mod_auth functionality
would also be fine. Some idea I haven't heard of would be lovely, too....
Thanks,
Nathan Folsom-Kovarik

We did something similar to this by setting an environment variable (see the mod_setenv for examples). You could probably modify mod_auth to set the env variable when a 'require group' succeeds.
