| <h3>Summary</h3> |
| |
| <p>This module allows FastCGI authorizer applications to |
| authenticate users and authorize access to resources. It supports |
| generic FastCGI authorizers which participate in a single phase |
| for authentication and authorization as well as Apache httpd-specific |
| authenticators and authorizors which participate in one or both |
| phases.</p> |
| |
| <p>FastCGI authorizers can authenticate using user id and password, |
| such as for Basic authentication, or can authenticate using arbitrary |
| mechanisms.</p> |

| <h2><a name="invocations" id="invocations">Invocation modes</a></h2> |
| |
| <p>The invocation modes for FastCGI authorizers supported by this |
| module are distinguished by two characteristics, <em>type</em> and |
| auth <em>mechanism</em>.</p> |
| |
| <p><em>Type</em> is simply <code>authn</code> for authentication, |
| <code>authz</code> for authorization, or <code>authnz</code> for |
| combined authentication and authorization.</p> |
| |
| <p>Auth <em>mechanism</em> refers to the Apache httpd configuration |
| mechanisms and processing phases, and can be <code> |
| AuthBasicProvider</code>, <code>Require</code>, or <code> |
| check_user_id</code>. The first two of these |
| correspond to the directives used to enable participation in the |
| appropriate processing phase.</p> |
| |
| <p>Descriptions of each mode:</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><em>Type</em> <code>authn</code>, <em>mechanism</em> |
| <code>AuthBasicProvider</code></dt> |
| |
| <dd>In this mode, |
| <code>FCGI_ROLE</code> is set to <code>AUTHORIZER</code> and |
| <code>FCGI_APACHE_ROLE</code> is set to <code>AUTHENTICATOR</code>. |
| The application must be defined as provider type <em>authn</em> |
| using <code class="directive"><a href="#authnzfcgidefineprovider"> |
| AuthnzFcgiDefineProvider</a></code> and enabled with |
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></code>. |
| When invoked, the application is |
| expected to authenticate the client using the provided user id and |
| password. Example application: |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-perl">#!/usr/bin/perl |
| use FCGI; |
| my $request = FCGI::Request(); |
| while ($request->Accept() >= 0) { |
| die if $ENV{'FCGI_APACHE_ROLE'} ne "AUTHENTICATOR"; |
| die if $ENV{'FCGI_ROLE'} ne "AUTHORIZER"; |
| die if !$ENV{'REMOTE_PASSWD'}; |
| die if !$ENV{'REMOTE_USER'}; |
| |
| print STDERR "This text is written to the web server error log.\n"; |
| |
| if ( ($ENV{'REMOTE_USER' } eq "foo" || $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} eq "foo1") && |
| $ENV{'REMOTE_PASSWD'} eq "bar" ) { |
| print "Status: 200\n"; |
| print "Variable-AUTHN_1: authn_01\n"; |
| print "Variable-AUTHN_2: authn_02\n"; |
| print "\n"; |
| } |
| else { |
| print "Status: 401\n\n"; |
| } |
| }</pre> |
| |
| |
| Example configuration: |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">AuthnzFcgiDefineProvider authn FooAuthn fcgi://localhost:10102/ |
| <Location "/protected/"> |
| AuthType Basic |
| AuthName "Restricted" |
| AuthBasicProvider FooAuthn |
| Require ... |
| </Location></pre> |
| |
| </dd> |
| |
| <dt><em>Type</em> <code>authz</code>, <em>mechanism</em> |
| <code>Require</code></dt> |
| <dd>In this mode, <code>FCGI_ROLE</code> is set to <code> |
| AUTHORIZER</code> and <code>FCGI_APACHE_ROLE</code> is set to |
| <code>AUTHORIZER</code>. The application must be defined as |
| provider type <em>authz</em> using <code class="directive"><a href="#authnzfcgidefineprovider"> |
| AuthnzFcgiDefineProvider</a></code>. When invoked, the application |
| is expected to authorize the client using the provided user id and other |
| request data. Example application: |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-perl">#!/usr/bin/perl |
| use FCGI; |
| my $request = FCGI::Request(); |
| while ($request->Accept() >= 0) { |
| die if $ENV{'FCGI_APACHE_ROLE'} ne "AUTHORIZER"; |
| die if $ENV{'FCGI_ROLE'} ne "AUTHORIZER"; |
| die if $ENV{'REMOTE_PASSWD'}; |
| |
| print STDERR "This text is written to the web server error log.\n"; |
| |
| if ($ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} eq "foo1") { |
| print "Status: 200\n"; |
| print "Variable-AUTHZ_1: authz_01\n"; |
| print "Variable-AUTHZ_2: authz_02\n"; |
| print "\n"; |
| } |
| else { |
| print "Status: 403\n\n"; |
| } |
| }</pre> |
| |
| |

| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">AuthnzFcgiDefineProvider authz FooAuthz fcgi://localhost:10103/ |
| <Location "/protected/"> |

| </Location></pre> |
| |
| </dd> |
| |
| <dt><em>Type</em> <code>authnz</code>, <em>mechanism</em> |
| <code>AuthBasicProvider</code> <em>+</em> <code>Require</code></dt> |
| |
| <dd>In this mode, which supports the web server-agnostic FastCGI |
| <code>AUTHORIZER</code> protocol, <code>FCGI_ROLE</code> is set to |
| <code>AUTHORIZER</code> and <code>FCGI_APACHE_ROLE</code> is not set. |
| The application must be defined as provider type <em>authnz</em> |
| using <code class="directive"><a href="#authnzfcgidefineprovider"> |
| AuthnzFcgiDefineProvider</a></code>. The application is expected to |
| handle both authentication and authorization in the same invocation |
| using the user id, password, and other request data. The invocation |
| occurs during the Apache httpd API authentication phase. If the |
| application returns 200 and the same provider is invoked during the |
| authorization phase (via <code class="directive">Require</code>), mod_authnz_fcgi |
| will return success for the authorization phase without invoking the |
| application. Example application: |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-perl">#!/usr/bin/perl |
| use FCGI; |
| my $request = FCGI::Request(); |
| while ($request->Accept() >= 0) { |

| <p>The following are potential features which are not currently |
| implemented:</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt>Apache httpd access checker</dt> |
| <dd>The Apache httpd API <em>access check</em> phase is a separate |
| phase from authentication and authorization. Some other FastCGI |
| implementations implement this phase, which is denoted by the |
| setting of <code>FCGI_APACHE_ROLE</code> to <code>ACCESS_CHECKER</code>.</dd> |
| |
| <dt>Local (Unix) sockets or pipes</dt> |
| <dd>Only TCP sockets are currently supported.</dd> |
| |
| <dt>Support for mod_authn_socache</dt> |
| <dd>mod_authn_socache interaction should be implemented for |
| applications which participate in Apache httpd-style |
| authentication.</dd> |
| |
| <dt>Support for digest authentication using AuthDigestProvider</dt> |
| <dd>This is expected to be a permanent limitation as there is |
| no authorizer flow for retrieving a hash.</dd> |
| |
| <dt>Application process management</dt> |
| <dd>This is expected to be permanently out of scope for |
| this module. Application processes must be controlled by |
| other means. For example, <code class="program"><a href="../programs/fcgistarter.html">fcgistarter</a></code> can be used to |
| start them.</dd> |
| |
| <dt>AP_AUTH_INTERNAL_PER_URI</dt> |
| <dd>All providers are currently registered as |
| AP_AUTH_INTERNAL_PER_CONF, which means that checks are not |
| performed again for internal subrequests with the same |
| access control configuration as the initial request.</dd> |
| |
| <dt>Protocol data charset conversion</dt> |
| <dd>If mod_authnz_fcgi runs in an EBCDIC compilation |
| environment, all FastCGI protocol data is written in EBCDIC |
| and expected to be received in EBCDIC.</dd> |
| |
| <dt>Multiple requests per connection</dt> |
| <dd>Currently the connection to the FastCGI authorizer is |
| closed after every phase of processing. For example, if the |
| authorizer handles separate <em>authn</em> and <em>authz</em> |
| phases then two connections will be used.</dd> |
| |
| <dt>URI Mapping</dt> |
| <dd>URIs from clients can't be mapped, such as with the <code class="directive"> |
| ProxyPass</code> used with FastCGI responders.</dd> |

| <li>Selecting a custom response code; for a non-200 response |
| from the authorizer, the code from the authorizer will be the |
| status of the response</li> |
| <li>Setting the body of a non-200 response; if the authorizer |
| provides a response body with a non-200 response, that body |
| will be returned to the client; up to 8192 bytes of text are |

| |
| <dt><code>None</code></dt> |
| <dd>Specify <code>None</code> to disable a provider enabled |
| with this directive in an outer scope, such as in a parent |

| <dt><em>option</em></dt> |
| <dd>The following options are supported: |

| <dt>DefaultUser <em>userid</em></dt> |
| <dd>When the authorizer returns success and <code>UserExpr</code> |
| is configured and evaluates to an empty string (e.g., authorizer |
| didn't return a variable), this value will be used as the user |
| id. This is typically used when the authorizer has a concept of |

| use is to reference a <code>Variable-<em>XXX</em></code> |
| setting returned by the authorizer using an option like |
| <code>UserExpr "%{reqenv:<em>XXX</em>}"</code>. If |

| <p>This directive is used to define a FastCGI application as |
| a provider for a particular phase of authentication or |
| authorization.</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><em>type</em></dt> |
| <dd>This must be set to <em>authn</em> for authentication, |
| <em>authz</em> for authorization, or <em>authnz</em> for |
| a generic FastCGI authorizer which performs both checks.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><em>provider-name</em></dt> |
| <dd>This is used to assign a name to the provider which is |
| used in other directives such as |
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></code> |
| and |
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require</a></code>.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><em>backend-address</em></dt> |
| <dd>This specifies the address of the application, in the form |
| <em>fcgi://hostname:port/</em>. The application process(es) |
| must be managed independently, such as with |
| <code class="program"><a href="../programs/fcgistarter.html">fcgistarter</a></code>.</dd> |
