Hello, all. I apologize if this question has been asked before. I tried searching through the archives, but I wasn't getting any hits.


Here's the situation that I need help with... On our servers here at Dartmouth, we regularly make use of Kerberos authentication for controlling access to sites, and parts of sites, on www.dartmouth.edu. We run Apache 2 (currently 2.0.40, which is old but stable), under RedHat (currently 9, but upgrading soon to Enterprise 3), and use Apache's standard "combined" log format:

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined

Our Kerberos authentication system, when it sees an authenticated user accessing a protected area, places the user's full principle (i.e. their full name) into the auth_user field within Apache. Thus, for me, it places "Brian V. Hughes" into the %u field for that log file line.

Needless to say, this causes Analog to choke. What I'm hoping is there's a straightforward way for me to modify my Apache LogFormat, or modify the way Analog parses that format, to include lines containing authenticated user names with spaces.

I tried enclosing the name in quotes (and square braces), and I tried separating the %u field with tabs, but none of that worked. Is there something simple I've missed? Anyone else out there run into a problem like this, before?

Thanks, in advance, for any help you can give.

-Brian
