(RADIATOR) Putting PostAuthHook script in background.

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Ziaur -

Yes you are correct - Radiator will wait for the PostAuthHook to 
complete before continuing.

The correct answer to your question will depend on what else you are 
doing and what your exact requirements are.

You may find an AuthBy EXTERNAL clause or even a custom AuthBy clause 
more useful. Alternatively you might be able to use a second instance 
of Radiator and proxy those requests that need special treatment there.

More details are required before I can suggest anything.

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
