Re: Accessing environment variables set by other modules
Hello Jeff, Sometimes envvars are set directly into subprocess_env (e.g., handling of SetEnv/SetEnvIf). IOW, subprocess_env is the primary representation. But the REMOTE_USER and HTTP request header variables are a representation of information stored elsewhere (r-user, r-headers_in), and that envvar representation is created just before running an external process. A module should always look at the primary representation, in this case r-user. Thank you for these statements. Will just use r-user now. Thankful greetings. -- Sitepark Gesellschaft für Informationsmanagement mbH Rothenburg 14-16, 48143 Münster Telefon: +49 251 482655-0, Telefax: +49 251 482655-55 http://www.sitepark.com http://www.facebook.com/sitepark Geschäftsführer: Thorsten Liebold Amtsgericht Münster, HRB 5017

I tried it with two different code snippets, both are not working. 1. const char *remote = apr_table_get(r-subprocess_env, REMOTE_USER); 2. char *remote = get_env(REMOTE_USER); I also changed the hook that I have my code registered in, so that it runs later than the mod_auth_kerb. But still REMOTE_USER appears to be always empty. What am I doing wrong? Someone point me in the right direction? Thank you for your time. Greetings Just a quick suggestion; Have you tried r-user ? With regards, Daniel.
Re: Accessing environment variables set by other modules
Hello Daniel, Just a quick suggestion; Have you tried r-user ? Tak! Really a good suggestion. r-user is set if it's run in the fixup hook. I still would like to know if it's possible to access variables set by other modules, but for the current development it'll be sufficient. With kind regards. Christoph Grøver --
