Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 828896
mod_authnz_ldap unable to set environment variables for authorize only
Last modified: 2013-12-04 14:14:06 EST
Created attachment 589543 [details] Patch to add setting of AUTHORIZE_* CGI vars to mod_authnz_ldap Description of problem: mod_authnz_ldap has the ability to set environment variables from received LDAP attributes. Unfortunately these can only be set by LDAP authentication, not by LDAP authorization. This is very unfortunate when integrating Apache with for example Active Directory, or any other directory server using Kerberos, because you want to use the HTTP Negotiate authentication to get single sign on, but still use LDAP for authorization and user information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): httpd-2.2.15-15.el6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup httpd with Kerberos (or any other non-LDAP) authentication and LDAP authorization. 2. Use a AuthLDAPURL parameter requesting multiple LDAP attributes. Actual results: No environment variables are set for configured LDAP attributes. Expected results: Environment variables are set for all configured LDAP attributes. Additional info: This feature has already been implemented upstream in httpd 2.4 and later: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/aaa/mod_authnz_ldap.c?r1=949335&r2=949336 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/aaa/mod_authnz_ldap.c?r1=949672&r2=949673 but unfortunately not for the 2.2 branch. The attached patch implements setting of AUTHORIZE_* environment variables for httpd 2.2.15
I don't see a problem with adding this - thanks for doing the backport, Marcus.
