Hi support,


This is the worldwide mailing list for discussing cosign. People who reply are all volunteers.


I've install the Cosign server on Red HAT 5.4. I can see the Cosign login page, but the service cookie don't work.

How I can start the service cookie ?


What do you mean by "don't work"?

Assuming that you are running cosign version 3, the service cookie is set by the cosign filter. Normally, an end user would visit a cosign-protected page on a web server running the cosign filter, they would be redirected to the central weblogin servers (and they will see the login page if they are not already logged in), and after the user's identity is authenticated, the user will be sent back to the validation URL on the web server they originally visited. The cosign handler at the validation URL on the web server running the cosign filter is what actually sets the cosign service cookie.


What's means the 'service mod_cosign-2.0' write in the cosign.conf, on RHEL show error and stop the cosignd ?


Under cosign version 3, the "service" keyword in cosign.conf takes either 4 or 5 arguments. See the cosign.conf man page (included when you downloaded cosign, in the "daemon" subdirectory) for a description of each of these arguments. Here is an example of a service line in cosign.conf:

service cosign-(.*) https://$1/cosign/valid 0 (.*\.example\.com) cosign-$1

The above service line says, "when a web server running the cosign filter contacts the central weblogin server with a certificate whose CN ends in .example.com, allow that server to access cosign service cookies named cosign- followed by the CN; for URL validation, send the user to /cosign/valid using HTTPS at the hostname corresponding to the CN; and use the default cosign protocol and do not allow the web server to retrieve Kerberos tickets".

You are getting an error and cosignd does not start because "service mod_cosign-2.0" is not a valid service line for cosign.conf. See the cosign.conf man page.
