and passwords before accessing pages in some directories. Authentication is the process of checking if the password given is correct for a user. Apache has standard modules for authenticating out of several different kinds of databases. The external authentication module provides a flexible tool for creating authentication systems based on other databases. The module can be used in either of two somewhat divergent ways: 1) External Authentication: When a user supplies a login and password, mod_auth*_external runs a program you write, passing it the login and password. Your program does whatever checking and logging it needs to, and then returns a Accept/Reject flag to Apache. 2) Hardcoded Authentication: Some hooks have been inserted into mod_auth*_external to make it easy to replace the call to the external authentication program with a call to a hardcoded internal authentication routine that you write.
