kshAuth provides the ability to easily integrate
into your existing web site look-and-feel. When any of
the kshAuth utilities are executed, they search
backwards up the directory tree from your current
working directory, for any file named
"HEADER.shtml" or
"README.shtml". If it finds these files,
the content of these files into the current page.
The content of "HEADER.shtml" is
included first. Then the content of the kshAuth utility
is displayed. Finally the contents of the
"README.shtml" file is included.
So if either of these files exist anywhere in a parent directory of the kshAuth structure, they will be used as part of the page content on every page.
NOTE: The suffix
".shtml" is used on both
"HEADER.shtml" and
"README.shtml". This means Apache SSI
directives may be used inside these files to
include other files if desired, for example the content
of the "HEADER.shtml" may be a single
statement to include an existing
"HEADER.html" file:
OR
The only Apache SSI directives supported by kshAuth are shown above. Any HTML files may be included using these directives, not just the HEADER and README files. If an included file contains Apache SSI include directives, those files will also be included, recursively for however many levels of inclusion are specified.
