Thread: Apache authorization using postgres
Is this the latest on this subject?

Use the blastwave command: pkg-get -i apache2_devel This gives you the headers you are missing from the apache binary install (as well as loading the libtool etc that the apxs command will use. Now go to http://www.giuseppetanzilli.it/mod_auth_pgsql2/ and download the source. I put it in /Documents/mod_auth_pgsql2/mod_auth_pgsql-2.0.3 [snip] Thanks, John Gage

I really like the idea of using postgres, as opposed to the file system, to store user names and passwords for http authorization on apache. It is a very good fit and facilitates data collection, etc. On the other hand, there is no dichotomy, because what is stored in a file can also be stored in postgres. Ultimately, I increasingly like to push everything I can back into SQL on postgres. Make the perl cgi routines as simple as possible and have the intelligence in postgres. Yes, MacOSX 10.5.
