ccbill mySQL authentication

[ruff]

I'm trying to find out if switching over to a mySQL database for my CC BILL user/pass authentication is more secure and a better way of managing user/pass for my sites.
Anybody familiar with this?

Depending on how many members you have, switching to MySQL may be the way to go. Apache can't reliable handle much more than 1200 or so entries in an .htpasswd file on a busy site. That's where mod_auth_mysql can help you - using mysql as the data store, you can handle thousands (or even tens of thousands) of members with aplomb.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Unless you already use MySQL on the server, installing a database like that for something this simple is way overkill.

Try,
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authn_dbm.html

Lightweight indexed files are the way to go really unless you want to go really hardcore.
