Title: Re: Apache2: one module or two?

Howdy,

I'm not sure where the Apache stuff is at.  I know the plan for 2.2 was to split authentication and authorization services. If it's there it's in the 2.1 code base.

 

If you keep in one module, you'll probably have ifdef hell.  I'd vote to spend more time abstracting the library and then look at maintaing same code base.

Yep, I plan to call it mod_shib...

I dont know how hard it would be to build for both 1.3 and 2 from the
same sources; worst case we have two sets of sources.
