Apache Module mod_authz_dbd

Available Languages:  en  |  fr 

Description:Group Authorization and Login using SQL
Status:Extension
Module Identifier:authz_dbd_module
Source File:mod_authz_dbd.c
Compatibility:Available in Apache 2.4 and later

Summary

This module provides authorization capabilities so that authenticated users can be allowed or denied access to portions of the web site by group membership. Similar functionality is provided by mod_authz_groupfile and mod_authz_dbm, with the exception that this module queries a SQL database to determine whether a user is a member of a group.

This module can also provide database-backed user login/logout capabilities. These are likely to be of most value when used in conjunction with mod_authn_dbd.

This module relies on mod_dbd to specify the backend database driver and connection parameters, and manage the database connections.
