# Apache::AuthCookie::FAQ(3pm)

Frequently Asked Questions about Apache::AuthCookie.

## NAME

Apache::AuthCookie::FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about Apache::AuthCookie.

## VERSION

version 3.32

## DESCRIPTION

This document serves to answer the most frequently asked questions about Apache::AuthCookie.

### How can I protect an entire site (/) with Apache::AuthCookie?

You have to give an Apache `"require"` directive that applies to all requests for **except** for your login handler.  The easiest way to do this is to override the auth handlers for your login script. For example, if your login handler is `"/LOGIN"`, then you need to use something like the following:

```
 <Location />
   AuthType My::AuthCookieHandler
   AuthName Whatever
   PerlAuthenHandler My::AuthCookieHandler->authenticate
   PerlAuthzHandler My::AuthCookieHandler->authorize
   require valid-user
 </Location>
 <Location /LOGIN>
   PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::Const::OK
   PerlAuthzHandler Apache2::Const::OK
 </Location>
 ...
```
