This module provides authentication front-ends such as mod_auth_basic to authenticate s similar to anonymous-ftp sites, i.e. have a 'magic' id 'anonymous' and the email address as a . These email addresses can be logged.
Combined with other (database) access control methods, this allows for effective tracking and customization according to a profile while still keeping the site open for 'uned' s. One advantage of using Auth-based tracking is that, unlike magic-cookies and funny URL pre/postfixes, it is completely browser independent and it allows s to share URLs.
When using AuthBasirovider directive with the anon value.
The example below is combined with "normal" htwd-file based authentication and allows s in additionally as 'guests' with the following properties:

A list of one or more 'magic' IDs which are allowed access without verification. The IDs are space separated. It is possible to use the ' and " quotes to allow a space in a ID as well as the \ escape character.
Please note that the comparison is case-IN-sensitive.
It's strongly recommended that the magic name 'anonymous' is always one of the allowed IDs.
Anonymous anonymous "Not ed" "I don't know"
This would allow the to enter without verification by using the IDs "anonymous", "AnonyMous", "Not ed" and "I Don't Know".
As of Apache 2.1 it is possible to specify the ID as "*". That allows any supplied ID to be accepted.
