Just for the record... With guidance from the list, I got mod_dbd and mod_authn_dbd working. I installed Oracle Client 11g (win32_11gR1_client.zip) and Apache 2.2.10. I had to take a few guesses at what DBDParams was supposed to be. I ended up with "user=test pass=test server=db9i". I then followed the configuration example in the docs for mod_authn_dbd. That did it. Using a tool like ngrep, to see the exchanges between oracle and apache, helped a lot too. I appreciate the help.
