<h3>Summary</h3>

    <div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
      <p>Form authentication depends on the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_session.html">mod_session</a></code>
      modules, and these modules make use of HTTP cookies, and as such can fall
      victim to Cross Site Scripting attacks, or expose potentially private
      information to clients. Please ensure that the relevant risks have
      been taken into account before enabling the session functionality on
      your server.</p>
    </div>

    <p>This module allows the use of an HTML login form to restrict access
    by looking up users in the given providers. HTML forms require
    significantly more configuration than the alternatives, however an
    HTML login form can provide a much friendlier experience for end users.
    </p>

    <p>HTTP basic authentication is provided by
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html">mod_auth_basic</a></code>, and HTTP digest authentication is
    provided by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code>.  This module should
    be combined with at least one authentication module
    such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code> and one authorization
    module such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_user.html">mod_authz_user</a></code>.</p>

    <p>Once the user has been successfully authenticated, the user's login
    details will be stored in a session provided by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_session.html">mod_session</a></code>.
    </p>

<h2><a name="basicconfig" id="basicconfig">Basic Configuration</a></h2>

      <p>To protect a particular URL with <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_form.html">mod_auth_form</a></code>, you need to
      decide where you will store your <var>session</var>, and you will need to
      decide what method you will use to authenticate. In this simple example, the
      login details will be stored in a session based on
      <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_session_cookie.html">mod_session_cookie</a></code>, and authentication will be attempted against
      a file using <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code>. If authentication is unsuccessful,
      the user will be redirected to the form login page.</p>

      <div class="example"><h3>Basic example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Location "/admin"&gt;
    AuthFormProvider file
    AuthUserFile "conf/passwd"
    AuthType form
    AuthName "/admin"
    AuthFormLoginRequiredLocation "http://example.com/login.html"

    Session On
    SessionCookieName session path=/

    Require valid-user
&lt;/Location&gt;</pre>
</div>

      <p>The directive <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_core.html#authtype">AuthType</a></code> will enable
      the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_form.html">mod_auth_form</a></code> authentication when set to the value <var>form</var>.
      The directives <code class="directive"><a href="#authformprovider">AuthFormProvider</a></code> and
      <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html#authuserfile">AuthUserFile</a></code> specify that usernames
      and passwords should be checked against the chosen file.</p>

      <p>The directives <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_session.html#session">Session</a></code> and
      <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_session_cookie.html#sessioncookiename">SessionCookieName</a></code> 
      session stored within an HTTP cookie on the browser. For more information
      on the different options for configuring a session, read the documentation for
      <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_session.html">mod_session</a></code>.</p>

      <p>You can optionally add a 
      <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_session_crypto.html#sessioncryptopassphrase">SessionCryptoPassphrase</a></code> to 
      create an encrypted session cookie. This required the additional
      module <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_session_crypto.html">mod_session_crypto</a></code> be loaded.</p>

      <p>In the simple example above, a URL has been protected by
      <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_form.html">mod_auth_form</a></code>, but the user has yet to be given an opportunity to
      enter their username and password. Options for doing so include providing a
      dedicated standalone login page for this purpose, or for providing the login
      page inline.</p>
    </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="standalone" id="standalone">Standalone Login</a></h2>

      <p>The login form can be hosted as a standalone page, or can be provided inline on
      the same page.</p>

      <p>When configuring the login as a standalone page, unsuccessful authentication
      attempts should be redirected to a login form created by the website for this purpose,
      using the <code class="directive"><a href="#authformloginrequiredlocation">AuthFormLoginRequiredLocation</a></code>
      directive. Typically this login page will contain an HTML form, asking the user to
      provide their usename and password.</p>

      <div class="example"><h3>Example login form</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-html">&lt;form method="POST" action="/dologin.html"&gt;
  Username: &lt;input type="text" name="httpd_username" value="" /&gt;
  Password: &lt;input type="password" name="httpd_password" value="" /&gt;
  &lt;input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" /&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;</pre>
</div>

      <p>The part that does the actual login is handled by the <var>form-login-handler</var>.
      The action of the form should point at this handler, which is configured within
      Apache httpd as follows:</p>

      <div class="example"><h3>Form login handler example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Location "/dologin.html"&gt;
    SetHandler form-login-handler
    AuthFormLoginRequiredLocation "http://example.com/login.html"
    AuthFormLoginSuccessLocation "http://example.com/admin/index.html"
    AuthFormProvider file
    AuthUserFile "conf/passwd"
    AuthType form
    AuthName /admin
    Session On
    SessionCookieName session path=/
&lt;/Location&gt;</pre>
</div>

      <p>The URLs specified by the
      <code class="directive"><a href="#authformloginrequiredlocation">AuthFormLoginRequiredLocation</a></code> directive will typically
      point to a page explaining to the user that their login attempt was unsuccessful, and they
      should try again.  The <code class="directive"><a href="#authformloginsuccesslocation">AuthFormLoginSuccessLocation</a></code>
      directive specifies the URL the user should be redirected to upon successful login.</p>

      <p>Alternatively, the URL to redirect the user to on success can be embedded within the login
      form, as in the example below. As a result, the same <var>form-login-handler</var> can be
      reused for different areas of a website.</p>

      <div class="example"><h3>Example login form with location</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-html">&lt;form method="POST" action="/dologin.html"&gt;
  Username: &lt;input type="text" name="httpd_username" value="" /&gt;
  Password: &lt;input type="password" name="httpd_password" value="" /&gt;
  &lt;input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" /&gt;
  &lt;input type="hidden" name="httpd_location" value="http://example.com/success.html" /&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;</pre>
</div>

    </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="inline" id="inline">Inline Login</a></h2>

      <div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
        <p>A risk exists that under certain circumstances, the login form configured
        using inline login may be submitted more than once, revealing login credentials to
        the application running underneath. The administrator must ensure that the underlying
        application is properly secured to prevent abuse. If in doubt, use the
        standalone login configuration.</p>
      </div>

      <p>As an alternative to having a dedicated login page for a website, it is possible to
      configure <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_form.html">mod_auth_form</a></code> to authenticate users inline, without being
      redirected to another page. This allows the state of the current page to be preserved
      during the login attempt. This can be useful in a situation where a time limited
      session is in force, and the session times out in the middle of the user request. The
      user can be re-authenticated in place, and they can continue where they left off.</p>

      <p>If a non-authenticated user attempts to access a page protected by
      <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_form.html">mod_auth_form</a></code> that isn't configured with a
      <code class="directive"><a href="#authformloginrequiredlocation">AuthFormLoginRequiredLocation</a></code> directive,
      a <var>HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED</var> status code is returned to the browser indicating to the user
      that they are not authorized to view the page.</p>

      <p>To configure inline authentication, the administrator overrides the error document
      returned by the <var>HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED</var> status code with a custom error document
      containing the login form, as follows:</p>

      <div class="example"><h3>Basic inline example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">AuthFormProvider file
ErrorDocument 401 "/login.shtml"
AuthUserFile "conf/passwd"
AuthType form
AuthName realm
AuthFormLoginRequiredLocation "http://example.com/login.html"
Session On
SessionCookieName session path=/</pre>
</div>

      <p>The error document page should contain a login form with an empty action property,
      as per the example below.  This has the effect of submitting the form to
      the original protected URL, without the page having to know what that
      URL is.</p>

      <div class="example"><h3>Example inline login form</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-html">&lt;form method="POST" <strong>action=""</strong>&gt;
  Username: &lt;input type="text" name="httpd_username" value="" /&gt;
  Password: &lt;input type="password" name="httpd_password" value="" /&gt;
  &lt;input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" /&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;</pre>
</div>

      <p>When the end user has filled in their login details, the form will make
      an HTTP POST request to the original password protected URL.
      <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_form.html">mod_auth_form</a></code> will intercept this POST request, and if
      HTML fields are found present for the username and password, the user
      will be logged in, and the original password protected URL will be returned
      to the user as a GET request.</p>

    </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="inlinepreservebody" id="inlinepreservebody">Inline Login with Body Preservation</a></h2>

      <p>A limitation of the inline login technique described above is that should an
      HTML form POST have resulted in the request to authenticate or
      reauthenticate, the
      contents of the original form posted by the browser will be lost. Depending on
      the function of the website, this could present significant inconvenience for the
      end user.</p>

      <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_form.html">mod_auth_form</a></code> addresses this by allowing the method and body
      of the original request to be embedded in the login form. If authentication
      is successful, the original method and body will be retried by Apache httpd, preserving
      the state of the original request.</p>

      <p>To enable body preservation, add three additional fields to the login form as
      per the example below.</p>

      <div class="example"><h3>Example with body preservation</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-html">&lt;form method="POST" action=""&gt;
  Username: &lt;input type="text" name="httpd_username" value="" /&gt;
  Password: &lt;input type="password" name="httpd_password" value="" /&gt;
  &lt;input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" /&gt;
  <br />  <strong>&lt;input type="hidden" name="httpd_method" value="POST" /&gt;
  &lt;input type="hidden" name="httpd_mimetype" value="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" /&gt;
  &lt;input type="hidden" name="httpd_body" value="name1=value1&amp;name2=value2" /&gt;</strong><br />
&lt;/form&gt;</pre>
</div>

      <p>How the method, mimetype and body of the original request are embedded within the
      login form will depend on the platform and technology being used within the website.
      </p>

      <p>One option is to use the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code> module along with the
      <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_request.html#keptbodysize">KeptBodySize</a></code> directive, along with a suitable
      CGI script to embed the variables in the form.</p>

      <p>Another option is to render the login form using a CGI script or other dynamic
      technology.</p>

      <div class="example"><h3>CGI example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">        AuthFormProvider file
        ErrorDocument 401 "/cgi-bin/login.cgi"
        ...</pre>
</div>

    </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="loggingout" id="loggingout">Logging Out</a></h2>

      <p>To enable a user to log out of a particular session, configure a page to
      be handled by the <var>form-logout-handler</var>. Any attempt to access this
      URL will cause the username and password to be removed from the current
      session, effectively logging the user out.</p>

      <p>By setting the
      <code class="directive"><a href="#authformlogoutlocation">AuthFormLogoutLocation</a></code> directive,
      a URL can be specified that the browser will be redirected to on successful
      logout. This URL might explain to the user that they have been logged out, and
      give the user the option to log in again.</p>

      <div class="example"><h3>Basic logout example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">SetHandler form-logout-handler
AuthName realm
AuthFormLogoutLocation "http://example.com/loggedout.html"
Session On
SessionCookieName session path=/</pre>
</div>

      <p>Note that logging a user out does not delete the session; it merely removes
      the username and password from the session. If this results in an empty session,
      the net effect will be the removal of that session, but this is not
      guaranteed. If you want to guarantee the removal of a session, set the
      <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_session.html#sessionmaxage">SessionMaxAge</a></code> directive to a small
      value, like 1 (setting the directive to zero would mean no session age limit).
      </p>

      <div class="example"><h3>Basic session expiry example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">SetHandler form-logout-handler

<div class="section">

    URLencoded in form submission, or you may get unexpected results.</p>

    <code class="directive">AuthFormAuthoritative</code> directive explicitly
    to <code>Off</code> allows for both authentication and
    authorization to be passed on to other non-provider-based modules
