=head1 NAME
Apache2::AuthenNTLM::Cookie - Store NTLM identity in a cookie
=head1 SYNOPSIS
PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthenNTLM::Cookie
AuthType ntlm
PerlAddVar ntdomain "domain primary_domain_controller other_controller"
... # see other configuration params in Apache2::AuthenNTLM
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module extends L with a cookie mechanism.
The parent module L performs user authentication
via Microsoft's NTLM protocol; thanks to this mechanism, users are
automatically recognized from their Windows login, without having to
type a username and password. The server does not have to be a Windows
machine : it can be any platform, provided that it has access to a
Windows domain controller. On the client side, both Microsoft
Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox implement the NTLM protocol.
The NTLM handshake involves several packet exchanges, and furthermore
requires serialization through an internal semaphore. Therefore,
in order to improve performance, the present module saves the result
of that handshake in a cookie, so that the next request gets an
immediate answer.
A similar module was already published on CPAN for Apache1 / modperl1
(L). The present module is an implementation
for Apache2 / modperl2, and has a a different algorithm for cookie
generation, in order to prevent any attempt to forge a fake cookie.
=head1 CONFIGURATION
Configuration directives for NTLM authentication are
just inherited from L; see that module's
documentation. These are most probably all you need, namely
the minimal information for setting the handler,
specifying the C and specifying the names
of domain controllers :
PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthenNTLM::Cookie
AuthType ntlm
PerlAddVar ntdomain "domain primary_domain_controller other_controller"
In addition to the inherited directives, some
optional C directives
allow you to control various details of cookie generation :
PerlSetVar cookie_name my_cookie_name # default is NTLM_AUTHEN
PerlSetVar domain my_cookie_domain # default is none
PerlSetVar expires my_cookie_expires # default is none
PerlSetVar path my_cookie_path # default is none
PerlSetVar refresh some_seconds # default is 3600 (1 hour)
PerlSetVar secret my_secret_string # default from stat(config file)
See L for explanation of variables
C, C, C, and C.
The only variables specific to the present module are
=over
=item refresh
This is the number of seconds after which the cookie becomes invalid
for authentication : it complements the C parameter. The
C value is a standard HTTP cookie mechanism which tells how
long a cookie will be kept on the client side; its default
value is 0, which means that this is a session cookie, staying as long
as the browser is open. But if the Windows account gets disabled,
the cookie will never reflect the new situation : therefore we
must impose a periodic refresh of the cookie. The default refresh
value is 3600 seconds (one hour).
=item secret
This is a secret phrase for generating a SHA1 digest that will be
incorporated into the cookie. The digest also incorporates the
username and cookie creation time, and is checked at each request :
therefore it is impossible to forge a fake cookie without knowing the
secret.
The default value for the secret is the concatenation of modification
time and inode of the F file on the server; therefore if
the configuration file changes, authentication cookies are
automatically invalidated.

=head1 TESTING NOTE
This module has no tests ... because I didn't manage to write
command-line tests that would successfully load the APR dynamic
libraries. Any hints welcome! Nevertheless, the module
has been successfully tested on Apache2.2/modperl2/solaris.
