Passing Control to other modules

The current version of mod_akenti does not address this. But it is possible to hand over the control to other Apache modules if the http resource requested is not controlled by Akenti. The provision will be provided in the next version. This will require additional directives in the httpd.conf file.

By handing over the control to other modules Akenti can be a part of the existing non-access controlled server with minor configuration changes. The SSL is still required. This feature will require additional directives in the httpd.conf file and some changes in the akenti module.
