mod_auth_pg for Apache, and LXP

From
Eric Webber
Date:
trying to get an idea of who is using mod_auth_pg for
Apache authentication and if anyone else out there is
using LXP.

I am looking for a good set of documention on using
mod_auth_pg, since there seem to be several versions
of greater or lesser freshness floating around.

Also wondering if LXP and mod_auth_pg interact in anyway
of if there is a better way to handle auth with LXP alone
or a philosophy for having them work well together.

I highly recommend you check out LXP, a postgres/apache
application server of exceeding excellence.

warmest regards,

Eric Sean Webber

What about this doesn't answer your questions?

mod_auth_pgsql installs itself as an authentication handler, lxp is a
content handler: there shouldn't be any problems.  -sc

I use Apache + PHP + PostgreSQL + mod_auth_pg, and it's great. I can
give web-dialogs to admin users who administrate the user- and group
tables and I can protect directories (and thus web pages) with
.htaccess.

I like it. Very cool, especially the additional clauses that you can put
in .htaccess, e.g. if you have boolean "active/inactive" columns to
quickly disable users without deleting or resetting their passwords.
