It's so much better than the IIS 5 on XP setup...

Hi all, I tried to use the Http Authentication Digest Scheme with my php (apache module) based website.

I've been working on a REST implementation with my existing Cake install, and it's looking great except that I want to use HTTP Digest Authentication for all requests (Basic Auth won't cut it). So great, I'll generate a header in the client app (which is not cake) and send it to my cake install. Only problem is, I can't find a method f...
In a sentence, I want to configure JBoss 4.2.2 to use DatabaseServerLoginModule as the login-module for a Web application that is secured via Digest Authentication. The problem I am having is that the passwords fail to validate. I suspect the issue is either in how I've defined the application policy or in how the passwords are stored ...

Hi, For wikipedia I read: Joux[3] noted that 2-collisions lead to n-collisions: if it is feasible to find two messages with the same MD5 hash, it is effectively no more difficult to find as many messages as the attacker desires with identical MD5 hashes. But why is this so? I can't imagine why? The algorithms are open right, people ...
I found many questions on stackoverflow which has a mention about digest authentication. I could not find on how does the digest authentication prevent replay attacks?
