RE: [users@httpd] Basic Authentication with Apache 2.44 on Solari s 8 doesn't appear to work / CF

Do make sure CF is more secure then... I have heard recently that their
security is base64 encoding for passwords... I don't think that gives much
more security.

Can anyone confirm ?

ECB,

Thanks for the heads up.  I'm also considering a solution in Perl.
