* Package name : libapache2-mod-authn-yolo Version : 1.1 Upstream Author : Hans van Kranenburg <h...@knorrie.org> * URL : https://github.com/knorrie/mod-authn-yolo/ * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: C Description : Yolo style authentication for Apache 2 The authn_yolo module is an authentication provider for Basic Authentication in the Apache2 web server. It accepts any combination of user and password. Sometimes this is useful when testing or building a proof of concept, since there's no need to generate a htpasswd file etc. It can also be used to pass a user name to Apache in a scenario where verification of the credentials is delegated to a reverse proxy in front of Apache. --- >8 ---- So, this apache2 authentication module doesn't do more than just... return AUTH_GRANTED; It can be used like this: <Location /> AuthType Basic AuthName "Yolo" AuthBasicProvider yolo Require valid-user </Location> There seems to be no other way in apache2 to end up with the same result, allowing everything, but still ending up with the provided username in r->user. The actual use case for this (at $dayjob, at Mendix) is to be able to do all authentication and authorization work in nginx with custom code using lua etc etc... and still have apache2 running libapache2-mod-svn behind it, using the user name from the basic auth header as svn commit author.
