Hi, I added the "pre-authentication using apache" option from Phil Davis (http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/dev/2003-April/000142.html) to the CVS HEAD. The idea is the same. But I put it to a new auth-backend-module: Kernel/System/Auth/HTTPBasicAuth.pm (agent interface) and Kernel/System/CustomerAuth/HTTPBasicAuth.pm (customer interface) So it's also possible to write pre-authentication modules for other mechanism not just http-basic-auth. It's really nice and I like it. :) Now it's easy to integrate OTRS into a "single sign on" environment. ;) Thanks Phil! PS: I also added the documentation of the new HTTPBasicAuth modules to the CVS documentation (http://doc.otrs.org/cvs/html/).
