Hi all,
I have some users on my server who insist on writing .htaccess files and
defining proxies in them. This is something I don't like or want, they also
run against our firewall which causes some security related messages to be
generated. I have tried different restrictions with AllowOverride however
all I did was kill off other important functionality. Is there some way I
can restrict users so that when they define a proxy in a .htaccess file the
server returns some kind of error to the user? In otherwords, when a user
does something like
RewriteRule ^something/(.*)$ http://someserver.com/something/$1 [L,P]
I want an error message to be returned, something like the standard "Internal
Server Error" message is perfectly ok.
You need to remove FileInfo from your AllowOverrides or remove
mod_proxy or mod_rewrite from your loaded modules. There is no other
way in apache. (The social solution is to do automated monitoring of
.htaccess files with a script and kill accounts that misuse them.)
