As HTTP is a relatively stateless protocol, each request generates an
|
||
|
|
authentication attempt. While this is cheap when authenticating against dbm or
|
||
|
|
htpasswd files, it can get very expensive when running against a Windows
|
||
|
|
domain controller, ACE server, or other networked database, particularly on
|
||
|
|
image-rich pages and FancyIndexes from mod_autoindex.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mod_authenticache provides a secure method of caching credentials in order to
|
||
|
|
more efficiently serve in these situations.
