auth mechanism and req. record

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/04/22]

When you are implementing your own authentication mechanism e.g.
in a server using the multiprotocol feature you have to pass two
pieces of information to the Auth handler: the name of the auth
mechanism used and the data submitted by the client (e.g. a MD5
hash).

The name of the auth mechanism can be passed via $r->ap_auth_type().
But what is the the correct way to pass the client auth data? Should
I use the request notes table to this end?
