In converting my module development efforts from 2.2.4 to 3.0.9 to make use of the v3, "session-state" I noticed a difference in mod_instantiate where the instance variable is passed as *instance rather than **instance. I don't need to keep around any of the configuration information, I only use it to get a pointer into a library object that I can subsequently use with mod_authorize and mod_authenticate. So in 3.0.9 is it just assumed that you will carry around config via the instance variable that you don't need. I see in rlm_example.c the comment: " * If configuration information is given in the config section * that must be referenced in later calls, store a handle to it * in *instance otherwise put a null pointer there. " But I'm not clear what that comment means nor how to reset the instance variable pointer to the actual thing I need to keep around. r
