You can't blindly take the IP from the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header.
Non proxied clients can be sent a request which includes a spoofed IP, they
will then take the IP from the header. So you can pretend to be from any IP
which makes IP checking useless. (A security flaw?)
The best way of dealing with this situation is through a configuration
setting, so that if you are behind a proxy you turn on the option that then
checks the header.

Hi,
I've set up modauth-tkt with a login domain (intra.website.com) and
several subdomains (svn.intra.website.com, etc..). The TKTAuthDomain
is set to .intra.website.com and the cookie is being properly set. But
when it times out, it enters on a redirect loop. I have to manually
delete the auth-tkt cookie so it asks for login again.
Any ideas on what could be the cause for such behavior?
Thanks.

You're right.
This is the apache config file for the login domain:
<VirtualHost intra.website.com:80>
ServerName intra.website.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/intra-login
LogLevel Debug
Include auth_tkt.conf
Alias /login "/var/www/intra-login/"
<Location /login>
Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
TKTAuthTimeout 0
TKTAuthDomain .intra.website.com
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
This is the apache config file for the other subdomains:
<VirtualHost trac.intra.website.com:80>
ServerName trac.intra.website.com
Include auth_tkt.conf
<Location />
SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
PythonOption TracEnvParentDir /opt/trac
PythonOption TracUriRoot /
AuthType Basic
TKTAuthLoginURL http://intra.website.com/login/autologin.cgi
TKTAuthTimeout 0
TKTAuthDomain .intra.website.com
require valid-user
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
It works fine for a couple of hours and then it starts bouncing around
between the login domain and the referrer domain.
Any ideas?
Much appreciated.

Not sure if its the culprit (I doubt it in fact), but I find those
timeout values suspicious. Maybe set them for a week or two instead of
turning it off, and/or use TKTAuthTimeoutRefresh

My suspicion would be the same as Peter's - since "TktAuthTimeout 0" allows
replay attacks, it probably hasn't been tested much.
Try setting the timeout to 5m and see if everything works correctly after
the ticket has timed out (i.e. do you still get redirect loops then, or not?).
If not, then reconfirm it's still happening with "TKTAuthTimeout 0" and
post back here, and we'll investigate.
Cheers,
Gavin

I think that what's required is an authorization check callback, which
would be somethink like cut and paste from check_user_access() in
modules/aaa/mod_auth.c.

This seems to work for me (although you might want to have a
configuration item which toggles between HTTP_FORBIDDEN and
HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED, so that the current fallthrough behaviour is
available, if desired):

Ok, I've changed the TktAuthTimeout to 7d and then to 100h and it's
still entering onto a redirect loop. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
