NAME

Apache::lonacc - Cookie Based Access Handler


SYNOPSIS

Invoked (for various locations) by /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf:

 PerlAccessHandler       Apache::lonacc


INTRODUCTION

This module enables cookie based authentication and is used to control access for many different LON-CAPA URIs.

Whenever the client sends the cookie back to the server, this cookie is handled by either lonacc.pm or loncacc.pm (see srm.conf for what is invoked when). If the cookie is missing or invalid, the user is re-challenged for login information.

This is part of the LearningOnline Network with CAPA project described at http://www.lon-capa.org.


HANDLER SUBROUTINE

This routine is called by Apache and mod_perl.
