2(?) buglets in modssl 2.8.10
am 26.06.2002 04:38:50 von Jason HaarRedhat Linux, Apache 1.3.26 + modssl-2.8.10
I'm using client certs to authenticate users onto a Reverse Proxy - which
gateways through to backend Web servers.
I've experienced bugs with the pre-2.8.10 release with FakeBasicAuth and so
was keen to see if they were fixed in 2.8.10 (i.e the directory listing bug).
That bug is fixed (yeah!) but another 2(?) are introduced.
1> FakeBasicAuth
Namely the "faked" Basic authentication details are added to the the HTTP
stream, and now that flows back through mod_proxy onto the backend Web
servers - meaning that you can't use Basic authentication on them anymore :-(
I guess that was the fix? Adding these fake Basic auth headers to the stream
makes Apache happy to allow directory listings when it wasn't before - but
other modules such as mod_proxy also get it...
Is there any other way of doing it?
2> Logging
Currently I have the following:
CustomLog /log/access_log trimble
#Override the CustomLog setting for valid SSL Client Certs
CustomLog /log/access_log trimble-ssl env=SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_Email
From what I can descern from the Apache documentation, that should mean that
non SSL-client connections get logged according to the "trimble" LogFormat,
whereas SSL-client connections get logged according to the "trimble-ssl".
However, I get TWO log entries for SSL-client connections - it's like it
isn't overriding - it's appending...
Any ideas?
Thanks
