Practical Internet Groupware

Kit for Chapter 12

The ASP-based authorizing view is in http://udell.roninhouse.com/examples/auth.asp.txt (remove .txt extension for use), and its global.asa file is http://udell.roninhouse.com/examples/global.asa.txt.

Requirements for the Authorization Example

To run the script as shown in Chapter 12, you’ll need these modules:

Group::LdapGroup

From the directory kit (http://udell.roninhouse.com/examples/Directories.zip). Since this module requires a specific LDAP server, you might rather use Group::Simple instead.

Docbase::Docbase

From the Docbase kit (http://udell.roninhouse.com/examples/Docbase-1.0.tar.gz). The example uses Docbase::Docbase::getMetadata( ) to extract metadata from the ProductAnalysis docbase.

CPAN’s MIME::Base64

The example uses MIME::Base64::decode_base64( ) to decode basic authorization credentials.

CPAN’s SHA

The example uses SHA::digest( ) to encode credentials for comparison with credentials stored in Netscape Directory Server.
