Digest auth

[Apache apache-1.3.41_1]

Just checked my apache's httpd.conf and saw that in my configuration
file says

LoadModule digest_module libexec/apache/mod_digest.so

I read somewhere that "mod_digest is a rather old module, which would be
an older version of the digest authentication specification. Probably
not work with newer browsers."

Would I need to implement the module mod_auth_digest instead and how
should I do that thru php5-extensions (gives me the mod_digest module)?

Re: Digest auth

I have been using mod_auth_digest.so.. and it works great..
here is how the working conf looks..


Options Indexes FollowSymlinks ExecCGI
AuthType Digest
AuthName "private"
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/passwd/digest
Require valid-user
//other settings


Also do not forget to create the passwd file.. for your digest..

hope this helps
