I'm having the problem with being logged out then I switch to a secure
document. I have to log back in to get to the page. And when I go from a SSL
page to a plain page it logs me out again. Any advise?


Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24 mod_ssl/2.6.6 OpenSSL/0.9.5a
Apache::AuthCookie is version 2.011
I'm also using Embperl  v1.2.1
 
from .htaccess in the protected directories

AuthType Apache::AuthCookieHandler
AuthName Apollo
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthCookieHandler->authenticate
PerlAuthzHandler Apache::AuthCookieHandler->authorize
require valid-user    

from httpd.conf

PerlModule Apache::AuthCookieHandler
PerlSetVar ApolloPath /
PerlSetVar ApolloLoginScript /Protected/Login/login.epl

# This is the action of the login.epl script above.
<Files LOGIN>
  AuthType Apache::AuthCookieHandler
  AuthName Apollo
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler Apache::AuthCookieHandler->login
</Files>       

Thanks,
John

might wanna modify the source to set the domain to .yourdomain.com, as
its probably now being set as secure.yourdomain.com or
www.yourdomain.com

i have the same setup here, it works fine..

actually you should be able to do a PerlSetVar to set that as well

PetSetVar ApolloDomain .yourdomain.com

i think will work

Figure out how to make your web browser send the cookie to both the
SSL and non-SSL versions of your pages.  You're not being logged out;
the cookie just is not being sent to you.

no need to modify source to do that.  AuthCookie has a config option
to do it for you.
