概述

This module does access control in a manner similar to anonymous-ftp sites; i.e. have a 'magic' user id 'anonymous' and the email address as a password. These email addresses can be logged.

Combined with other (database) access control methods, this allows for effective user tracking and customization according to a user profile while still keeping the site open for 'unregistered' users. One advantage of using Auth-based user tracking is that, unlike magic-cookies and funny URL pre/postfixes, it is completely browser independent and it allows users to share URLs.

例子

The example below (when combined with the Auth directives of a htpasswd-file based (or GDM, mSQL etc.) base access control system allows users in as 'guests' with the following properties:

It insists that the user enters a userID. (Anonymous_NoUserID)
It insists that the user enters a password. (Anonymous_MustGiveEmail)
The password entered must be a valid email address, ie. contain at least one '@' and a '.'. (Anonymous_VerifyEmail)
The userID must be one of anonymous guest www test welcome and comparison is not case sensitive. (Anonymous)
And the Email addresses entered in the passwd field are logged to the error log file. (Anonymous_LogEmail)

Excerpt of httpd.conf:

Anonymous_NoUserID off Anonymous_MustGiveEmail on Anonymous_VerifyEmail on Anonymous_LogEmail on Anonymous anonymous guest www test welcome AuthName "Use 'anonymous' & Email address for guest entry" AuthType basic # An AuthUserFile/AuthDBUserFile/AuthDBMUserFile # directive must be specified, or use # Anonymous_Authoritative for public access. # In the .htaccess for the public directory, add: <Files *> Order Deny,Allow Allow from all Require valid-user </Files>

Anonymous 指令

说明	Specifies userIDs that are allowed access without password verification
语法	`Anonymous user [user] ...`
作用域	directory, .htaccess
覆盖项	AuthConfig
状态	Extension
模块	mod_auth_anon

A list of one or more 'magic' userIDs which are allowed access without password verification. The userIDs are space separated. It is possible to use the ' and " quotes to allow a space in a userID as well as the \ escape character.

Please note that the comparison is case-IN-sensitive.
I strongly suggest that the magic username 'anonymous' is always one of the allowed userIDs.

例子：

Anonymous anonymous "Not Registered" "I don't know"

This would allow the user to enter without password verification by using the userIDs "anonymous", "AnonyMous", "Not Registered" and "I Don't Know".

Anonymous_Authoritative 指令

说明	Configures if authorization will fall-through to other methods
语法	`Anonymous_Authoritative On\|Off`
默认值	`Anonymous_Authoritative Off`
作用域	directory, .htaccess
覆盖项	AuthConfig
状态	Extension
模块	mod_auth_anon

When set On, there is no fall-through to other authentication methods. So if a userID does not match the values specified in the Anonymous directive, access is denied.

Be sure you know what you are doing when you decide to switch it on. And remember that the order in which the Authentication modules are queried is defined in the modules.c files at compile time.

Anonymous_LogEmail 指令

说明	Sets whether the password entered will be logged in the error log
语法	`Anonymous_LogEmail On\|Off`
默认值	`Anonymous_LogEmail On`
作用域	directory, .htaccess
覆盖项	AuthConfig
状态	Extension
模块	mod_auth_anon

When set On, the default, the 'password' entered (which hopefully contains a sensible email address) is logged in the error log.

Anonymous_MustGiveEmail 指令

说明	Specifies whether blank passwords are allowed
语法	`Anonymous_MustGiveEmail On\|Off`
默认值	`Anonymous_MustGiveEmail On`
作用域	directory, .htaccess
覆盖项	AuthConfig
状态	Extension
模块	mod_auth_anon

Specifies whether the user must specify an email address as the password. This prohibits blank passwords.

Anonymous_NoUserID 指令

说明	Sets whether the userID field may be empty
语法	`Anonymous_NoUserID On\|Off`
默认值	`Anonymous_NoUserID Off`
作用域	directory, .htaccess
覆盖项	AuthConfig
状态	Extension
模块	mod_auth_anon

When set On, users can leave the userID (and perhaps the password field) empty. This can be very convenient for MS-Explorer users who can just hit return or click directly on the OK button; which seems a natural reaction.

Anonymous_VerifyEmail 指令

说明	Sets whether to check the password field for a correctly formatted email address
语法	`Anonymous_VerifyEmail On\|Off`
默认值	`Anonymous_VerifyEmail Off`
作用域	directory, .htaccess
覆盖项	AuthConfig
状态	Extension
模块	mod_auth_anon

When set On the 'password' entered is checked for at least one '@' and a '.' to encourage users to enter valid email addresses (see the above Anonymous_LogEmail).
