Hi,
We have various sites using Zope and we are trying to install a
micropayment solution to collect fees from our online users. We want to
use the Apache::Centipaid module from centipaid.com. This module is an
Apache authentication module, and it works by inserting configuration
instructions for mod_perl in the httpd.conf. What we are trying to do
(for testing purposed) is to make the http://www.aley.net/Ar/centipaid
path paid using centipaid Apache:: Centipaid module (the test is to pay
$0.005 which will allo the user access for 1 day)
We have tested the module with plain apache site and it works well, but
when used with a zope installation we are getting nothing. What I mean
it seems that module does not get called at all, so it is an apache/Zope
issue dealign with authentication, and that is why I am asking for
pointers on how to do that if it can be done at all.
In plain apache installations the path is the path of the file but in
zope it is not, since it is rewritten to be executed by Zope.cgi This is
the centipaid configuration, the instruction is what confusing me here,
and where should I insert it?? after the rewrite engine? before??..
AuthName Centipaid
AuthType aleynet
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::Centipaid
require valid-user
# debug level 5 shows everything, 0 show nothing
PerlSetVar debug 5
# payee information
# To signup for an account go to www.centipaid.com
PerlSetVar acct xxxx
PerlSetVar pass xxx
PerlSetVar amount 0.005
PerlSetVar duration 1d
PerlSetVar lang en
PerlSetVar enforce_ip 0
# centipaid receipt server assigned to payee
PerlSetVar authserver pay001.centipaid.com
PerlSetvar authport 2021
# mysql database to hold the receipts
PerlSetVar dbtype mysql
PerlSetVar dbhost xxxx
PerlSetVar dbport 3306
PerlSetVar dbname xxxx
perlSetVar dbuser xxx
perlSetVar dbpass xxx
and our zope installation looks like this
ServerName www.aley.net
DocumentRoot /web/zope/sites/www.aley.net
ErrorLog /web/log/www.aley.net-error_log
TransferLog /web/log/www.aley.net-access_log
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /web/zope/sites/www.aley.net/cgi-bin/
# AllowOverride None
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny

RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*) /web/zope/sites/www.aley.net/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi$1
[e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,L]
Any help on getting Zope to work with this authentication module will be
appretiated, since it will open the doors for paid content on sites
using centipaid.
