As HTTP is a relatively stateless protocol, each request generates an
authentication attempt. While this is cheap when authenticating against dbm or
htpasswd files, it can get very expensive when running against a Windows
domain controller, ACE server, or other networked database, particularly on
image-rich pages and FancyIndexes from mod_autoindex.
mod_authenticache provides a secure method of caching credentials in order to
more efficiently serve in these situations.
