Package: libapache-mod-auth-shadow Version: 1.4-1 Maintainer: Marcin Owsiany <porridge at debian.org>
I experience problems with the mod-auth-shadow Apache2 module when used in conjunction with FrontPage extentions on the same server. The problem appears to be that mod-auth-shadow automatically turns itself on (although 'AuthShadow on' isn't present) when one uses the 'require group' directive. Unfortunately no patch at the SourceForge site, just a confirmation of the bug: [----- from SourceForge Patch Archives -----] AuthShadow off fallback mod_auth fix To fix the incorrect authorization result use together with mod_auth. If "AuthShadow off" is specified, it should fall back to "mod_auth" (if enabled). But before patching it will always fail if specified "require group" in .htaccess. The following .htaccess can demonstrate the abnormal behaviour: AuthShadow off AuthType Basic AuthName "My Test" AuthUserFile /home/alan/myuserfile AuthGroupFile /home/alan/mygroupfile require group mygroup [----- from SourceForge Patch Archives -----] Regards David Herselman -=*> Syrex Intranets <*=- =- 27 7th Avenue http://www.syrex.co.za Parktown North +27-(0)86-11-SYREX Voice 2193 +27-(0)86-12-SYREX Fax
