I=92ve created a module we are calling Apache2::AuthAny. The module utilize=
s
other authentication modules or internal code, and provides a single =93GAT=
E=94
page where the end user can choose between authentication mechanisms.
AuthAny currently provides login to the =93Distribute System=94, which is u=
sed
to collect and disseminate influenza surveillance data. The authentication
mechanisms used for Distribute include Google, Shibboleth, and HTTP
authentication. Logout is supported for all mechanisms, including HTTP
authentication which is not normally possible.



We would like to release Apache2::AuthAny on CPAN. I=92m posting to this li=
st
per CPAN guidelines. Please respond if you have concerns about the
namespace, would like to review the code, or have suggestions of any sort.
Further documentation and a demo is currently running at

Very clever! Thanks for your contribution to CPAN.

Yes, please post a link to the source! A good place to post
development versions before uploading an 'official' release to CPAN is
GitHub - http://github.com

I've gotten AuthAny to an acceptable state for review. It can be downloaded
from the demo site:

https://authany.cirg.washington.edu/download/

If you would like to install it, please be sure to read the "README".

There are a couple of problems with this release:

1) I created a "post-install.pl" script for use after the "make install"
step.
I'm sure there was a better way to handle this.

2) "make test" produces some errors that I'm not sure how to handle or
suppress.
My "DB.t" tests works correctly if the database has been set up (as noted
in the README), however some warnings are going to stdout.

Some other problems are listed under "ISSUES" in the AuthAny.pm perldoc:
