RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2014:1557 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE mod_auth_kerb bug fix update 2014-10-14 01:21:20 UTC

Description Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2013-06-04 14:53:58 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #970547 +++

Description of problem:

When you have a web service using normal basic authentication, your logins will look like "alice" and "bob". When you then enable mod_auth_kerb on that httpd server, the logged in user will be "alice" and "bob". Which are completely different users in that web application's database so after using SPNEGO, people will not see their data.

It is necessary to use a

   KrbLocalUserMapping On

directive which is undocumented anywhere in the mod_auth_kerb documentation beyond on line in the Changes file in the mod_auth_kerb-5.4.tar.gz:

   *implemented KrbLocalUserMapping i.e. to strip @REALM from username for further use

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

mod_auth_kerb-5.4-9.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable mod_auth_kerb and try the user names not to have the @REALM so that it matches the basic authentication.
2. Try to find the documentation.

Actual results:

You will only find KrbLocalUserMapping (which is what you want) on Stack Overflow.

Expected results:

The directive will also be in /usr/share/doc/mod_auth_kerb-5.4/README.

Additional info:

Basically, please amend the README shipped with the module. Of course, getting it to upstream as well (not just Fedora but module's upstream) would be the best.
