   `Apache::AuthTkt`

+I've more or less managed to implement something based on `mod_perl` and
+`Apache::AuthenHook`, respectively in Debian packages `libapache2-mod-perl2`
+and `libapache-authenhook-perl`.
+
+In the Apache VirtualHost configuration, I have added the following:
+
+       PerlLoadModule Apache::AuthenHook
+       PerlModule My::IkiWikiBasicProvider
+
+       <Location /test/>
+               AuthType Basic
+               AuthName "wiki"
+               AuthBasicProvider My::IkiWikiBasicProvider
+               Require valid-user
+               ErrorDocument 401 /test/ikiwiki.cgi?do=signin
+       </Location>
+       <LocationMatch "^/test/(ikiwiki\.cgi$|.*\.css$|wikiicons/)">
+               Satisfy any
+       </LocationMatch>
+
+The perl module lies in `/etc/apache2/My/IkiWikiBasicProvider.pm`:
+
+       package My::IkiWikiBasicProvider;
+
+       use warnings;
+       use strict;
+       use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(OK DECLINED HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED);
+       use Storable;
+       use Authen::Passphrase;
+
+       sub userinfo_retrieve () {
+               my $userinfo=eval{ Storable::lock_retrieve("/var/lib/ikiwiki/test/.ikiwiki/userdb") };
+               return $userinfo;
+       }
+
+       sub handler {
+               my ($r, $user, $password) = @_;
+               my $field = "password";
+
+               if (! defined $password || ! length $password) {
+                       return Apache2::Const::DECLINED;
+               }
+               my $userinfo = userinfo_retrieve();
+               if (! length $user || ! defined $userinfo ||
+                   ! exists $userinfo->{$user} || ! ref $userinfo->{$user}) {
+                       return Apache2::Const::DECLINED;
+               }
+               my $ret=0;
+               if (exists $userinfo->{$user}->{"crypt".$field}) {
+                       error $@ if $@;
+                       my $p = Authen::Passphrase->from_crypt($userinfo->{$user}->{"crypt".$field});
+                       $ret=$p->match($password);
+               }
+               elsif (exists $userinfo->{$user}->{$field}) {
+                       $ret=$password eq $userinfo->{$user}->{$field};
+               }
+               if ($ret) {
+                       return Apache2::Const::OK;
+               }
+               return Apache2::Const::DECLINED;
+       }
+
+       1;
+
+This setup also allows people with the master password to create their own
+account.
+
+I'm not really fluent in Perl, and all this can probably be improved (*or
+might destroy your computer as it is* and YMMV).
