+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #736104 +++ After updating from httpd-2.2.17-10.fc15.1.i686 to httpd-2.2.19-2.fc15.i686 mod_auth_pam got broken. This is the configuration: <Directory /var/www/html/restricted/vpn> AuthPAM_Enabled on AuthType Basic AuthName "VPN Users" require group vpnadmins </Directory> I get 500 Internal server error with the following line in the log: [Tue Sep 06 10:29:47 2011] [error] [client 192.168.17.80] AuthUserFile not specified in the configuration --- Additional comment from updates on 2011-09-13 10:00:50 EDT --- httpd-2.2.21-1.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/httpd-2.2.21-1.fc15 --- Additional comment from updates on 2011-09-14 18:37:10 EDT --- Package httpd-2.2.21-1.fc15: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 15 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

I see in koji that for the last F15 update we have: * Tue Sep 13 2011 Joe Orton <jorton> - 2.2.21-1 - update to 2.2.21 - restore authnoprov patch (#736104) But for the last F16 update we have: * Tue Sep 13 2011 Joe Orton <jorton> - 2.2.21-1 - update to 2.2.21 Did the "restore authnoprov patch" not get applied to F16?
Hoping that the patch to allow mod_auth_pam can make it into F16. I see that mod_auth_pam is "not supported and/or developed any longer" from http://pam.sourceforge.net/mod_auth_pam/index.html However F16 still has mod_auth_pam as an installable option, so it probably should work. For F17, perhaps it could be replaced by http://code.google.com/p/mod-auth-external/
Same problem here
No, I've restored Fedora httpd to the upstream httpd behaviour; mod_auth_pam needs to be fixed to work with 2.2.
Based on some searching it will work if FallThrough is set to off? (http://blog.thirsch.de/2007/02/21/how-to-get-mod_auth_pam-running-on-apache-22x/) AuthPAM_FallThrough Off AuthBasicAuthoritative Off Seems to be working with the F16 httpd/mod_auth_pam, I need to test more to make sure its not allowing in things incorrectly.
Ah yes, I forgot there was a config workaround for it. Adding "AuthBasicAuthoritative Off" should restore the httpd behaviour to that of 2.0.

I'm trying to get mod_auth_pam going with F16 and cannot. I tried the above while searching for answers and eventually found this bug report. Can anyone here state that the above workaround does work for them with httpd-2.2.21-1.fc16? I don't know if I'm being bit by a bug or just stumped by what appears to be a simple problem. I got close by disabling SELinux, but only then got this working just barely with lots of spurious auth requests as my pages were being rendered. I'd rather not disable SELinux so any advice here would be most welcome.
No update on this? Hitting the same issue

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
