NetBadge at UVa

Information for Developers and Server Administrators

This section of the website presents information for developers who need to build or adapt applications to use NetBadge and Web server administrators who need to work in the NetBadge environment. The terms “Pubcookie” and “NetBadge” will be used, respectively, to denote the underlying authentication technology and the UVa implementation of that technology. Find more information about Pubcookie at pubcookie.org.

In configuring an application to use NetBadge, the first step is to use a Web server that has the pubcookie module installed. Apache (UNIX) and Microsoft IIS can both be configured to use pubcookie. Once the Web server has been installed and configured, then the Web server itself handles the NetBadge authentication. The Web application does not need to do any authentication at all.
