.htaccess = .WWWaccess ?

Greetings All,

I m working with the CGI for authentication.

OS:SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-34 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80
Server:Apache

I m trying to authenticate the website with CGI. i m using the
file .htaccess.AllowOverride All is set like this.but still i m not
getting autnticated.
but if i use .WWWaccess file i m getting authenticated.but i m not
able to check the user using ldap server.when i searched through
internet i could not get any details about the .WWWaccess file. can
any could help me i this.

File configuration.
bash-2.05b$ more .htaccess
AuthType Basic
AuthName Cisco-CEC
AuthUserFile /isaac/www/cgi-bin/pkolanda/authen/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
Require valid-user

i used the same config to both the files.For the .WWWaccess is
authenticating but .htaccess is not. i want to check for user
validation in ldap server.
how can i proceed and what could be the problem?

thanks in advance
Prakash

Not sure here, but you should check your httpd.conf file and see what
the AccessFileName directive is set to. Typically it's set
to .htaccess, but you can set it to whatever you want. It may be the
case that your distro has set that to .WWWaccess for some reason.

Re: .htaccess = .WWWaccess ?

Hi Greetings,
Thanks, for your reply....
yes your right... AccessFileName is set to .WWWaccess. but it is set
in the following files.
srm.pl.conf
srm.conf
conf_today_srm.

It is not set anything in httpd.conf and in access.conf. when i grep
that file no results came out.ok any how if .WWWaccess is the file if
i have to work with then to validate with ldap server can i use the
same config as used in .htacesss?

thanks
Prakash

The name of the file may have changed, but it is still the same thing
-> anything you were trying in .htaccess willl work in .WWWaccess

Can you check the error log to see what the actual error is? That
would be more helpful.

Perhaps you can use the LDAP functions in PHP instead?
I never used it myself, so I'm afraid I can't show
examples.
