mod_auth_nufw is a Single Sign On Apache module which performs secure user identification and authentication, based on the Nufw firewalling suite. Nufw marks all connections of a network with a unique UserID. This module takes advantage of that mark and uses it to transparently identify and authenticate users requiring access to an Apache server.

Changes: Bugs in the linked list handling code were fixed. This bug would only show up when several servers were setup on the same mod_auth_nufw installation. Bugs which caused the global directives "AuthNufwMaxSqlConns", "AuthNufwMaxLdapUidConns", and "AuthNufwMaxLdapUidCachedObjects" to be ignored were fixed. Code cleanup was done. The code now compiles without any warnings.


Changes: This release fixes some (Apache child-bound) memory leaks in the handling of SQL and LDAP connections.
