I have a 3rd party membership system (PHP based) that handles all of my
subscription duties. The system can protect a directory in one of two
ways either via .htaccess or a php include file.
The following rules are generated for a protected directory''s .htaccess
file:
########### START #####################
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
## allow access for product #5
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} amember_nr=([a-zA-Z0-9]+)
RewriteCond /home/market5/public_html/members/data/new_rewrite/%1-5 -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L]
## if user is not authorized, redirect to login page
RewriteRule ^(.*)$
http://www.mydomain.com/members/plugins/protect/new_rewrite/login.php?v%1-5&url=%{REQUEST_URI}?%{QUERY_STRING}
[L,R]
########### FINISH ####################
I can utilize the above to protect a given directory or there is the
option to protect a php page utilizing an include file.
How can I integrate the above .htaccess rules so that
1) I don''t break any current existing RoR rules
2) Certain authentication cookie values are available globally through
my RoR application?
Any thoughts on the above would be greatly appreciated.
