At the beginning, i tried to use Apache informations to detect the group
membership of the authenticated user. I've heard about a "REMOTE_GROUP"
CGI variable, but it seem's that apache does set this env variable.
That's why it's based on a static group definition file.
I agree with you, it would be much better if Apache can provide the
group membership information. Does anyone know informations about a way
to do that ?
