It caches the credentials in the Rails cache in a way that they are checked at least once every 10 minutes (if supported by the used cache store).
This action can be used to check if a certain user (identified with basic auth) has a certain permission on a named project.

This patch adds three new features to ChiliProject to resolve https://www.chiliproject.org/issues/177:
User.try_to_login. It allows to cache the auth credentials in the Rails.cache (e.g. Memcached). It creates a hash from the session secret, username, and password and saves it to the cache on successful login. This hash is less secure than the default hash in the database (it is SHA1-based and salted by the session secret), it is probably sufficient for storage in a memory cache. This mode is required to use either "expensive" hashes (e.g when we switch to PBKDF2) or when using external auth sources like LDAP which are rather slow.Redmine.pmcalledChiliProject.pmwhich uses the new sys API for authentication.This has several advantages as it completely removes the duplication of the complex authentication and authorization logic from the Perl module. We no longer require database modules and the code is now probably even threadsafe (allowing the usage of the Apache worker mpm).
The downside is that we use the ChiliProject for each auth request which might slow things down for very limited (or not concurrent) installs. However, each request right now takes <= 20 ms with Passenger on my systems, so it should probably be okay.
The Perl module still needs some more testing (which I would gladly take if you have some time) so I'm targeting this module for ChiliProject 3.5.
