internal package
Foswiki::LoginManager::ApacheLogin is a
Foswiki::LoginManager
This is login manager that you can specify in the security setup section of
configure. It instructs Foswiki to
cooperate with your web server (typically Apache) to require authentication
information (username & password) from users. It requires that you configure
your web server to demand authentication for scripts named "login" and anything
ending in "auth". The latter should be symlinks to existing scripts; e.g.,
viewauth -> view
,
editauth -> edit
, and so on.
See also
UserAuthentication.
