Authentication Blues

[Jeremy Russell]

Well, not being perl is cool, but I still would rather use a form that
is in a web page somewhere and bypass the little popup window.  Is that
possible with this setup or is there still a popup window.  Also don't
want to use mod_perl.  That may be the kicker.  Thanks for the reply.

Dear Sir,

The authentication code mentioned is not a CGI; they are Apache modules
that happen to be written in Perl.

No Perl stuff interacts with users; the only interaction is with the 
Apache core


HTTP request for Nag CGI  --> Apache ----> Perl Apache::AuthenSMB 
auth_type: basic | ntlm
other http headers

It seems to me that this conforms to your site standards since no web 
pages are produced by Perl.

Yours sincerely,
