Hello all!
Sorry if you've already seen this mail, I'm reposting it because I
haven't.
I'm new to mod_ssl, so I apologize if I ask too dumb questions... I
have
apache + mod_ssl and I would need to use groups of DNs for authorization
purposes.
I saw the example in Chapter 5 (HowTo) of the tutorial at
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_howto.html
which uses the SSLOption +FakeBasicAuth that does a basic
authentication on top of https based on a httpd.passwd file
containing DNs and passwords.
The question is, if I use the AuthGroupFile directive from apache and
the directive "require group group_name" it will work? The group file
would be of the following form accepted by apache:
group_name1:DN1 DN2
group_name2:DN3 DN4
User name are separated by spaces, so what about the spaces in the DNs?
Another question: the directives used in the cited example can be put
in .htaccess files directly in the directories I want to grant access
to?
Is there any other way to obtain authorization based on groups of DNs?
Thanks in advance,
Madalina.
