+
+This patch allows lighttpd to authenticate users against mySQL DBbr
+NOTE: Only basic auth is implemented. Passwords are stored as MD5 hash in DB
+
+make mysql db and user (read mySQL doc's if you don't know how)
+import lighttpd-1.4.11-mysql_auth.sql
+
+open lighttpd.conf and add
+(be sure that you comment out any other auth - according to lighttpd docs)
+
+auth.backend = "mysql"
+auth.backend.mysql.host = "localhost"
+auth.backend.mysql.user = "db_user"
+auth.backend.mysql.pass = "db_pass"
+auth.backend.mysql.db = "db_name"
+auth.backend.mysql.port = "0" # (for default port 0, always needed)
+auth.backend.mysql.socket = "" # (for default leave blank, always needed)
+auth.backend.mysql.users_table = "users_table"
+auth.backend.mysql.col_user = "col_name_username"
+auth.backend.mysql.col_pass = "col_name_password" # (md5 hash of password)
+auth.backend.mysql.col_realm = "col_realm_name"
+
+configure lighttpd to use it (same as every other auth)
+
+auth.require = ( "/some_path" =>
+ (
+ "method" => "basic",
+ "realm" => "some_realm",
+ "require" => "some_user",
+ )
+)
+
+start lighttpd
+
+P.S. patch include more complicated setup with separate table for domains.
+If you are interested please contact with me to obtain more information.
