Hi,

  "mod_jk" is now clearly off the hook. Upping the httpd log level from
"warn" to "info" (I was assuming an event leading to a 500 response would
be at least "warn" :-( reveals:

[Thu Dec 29 10:37:37.300421 2016] [authnz_ldap:info] [pid 20325:tid
139641195009792] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:49959] AH01695: auth_ldap
authenticate: user yyyyyyy authentication failed; URI /jkmanager
[ldap_search_ext_s() for user failed][Administrative limit exceeded]

@Christopher: thanks for the LDAP hint !!!


Perhaps also if you did not already know this : httpd 2.4 allows for setting the LogLevel on a per-module base, see here :
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/logs.html -> Per-module logging


Cheers

Hi Christopher,

   that is an interesting pointer. We are of course securing the
"jkmanager"
app. And guess what we are using: LDAP. The funky thing is that it is
working most of the time. It fails just after some time. Refreshing the
URL
cures it again - for some time. What did you do to fix your problem?

   As I mentioned elsewhere, setting "JkLogLevel debug" just filled the log
without anything suspicious showing up. I can see "jkmanager" fire/work
every 10 seconds (autorefresh), returning a 200 status. And then it
nothing
until I refresh the URL.So it seems the problem is  elsewhere, before
"mod_jk" come into play.


So setting JkLogLevel higher was far from useless : at least it tells you
where the problem isn't.

   I will now try to investigate towards "mod_ldap" and maybe towards the
OpenSSL stuff (we use LDAP over SSL). Fortunately rolling back versions is
simple.

As for being current, as far as I know we are up2date:

==> Server Version: Apache/2.4.23 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.2j mod_jk/1.2.42

Thanks
Martin

Hi,

today we updated our Devel/Integration environments from

HTTPD 2.4.18/mod_jk 1.2.41/OpenSSL-1.0.2h

to

HTTPD 2.4.23/mod_jk 1.2.42/OpenSSL-1.0.2j


Since then we observe on both systems spurious "500" messages when
accessing the "jkmanager" page. Unfortunately there isn't much info
besides that. Only "access_log" shows

access_log:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - xxxxxxxx [28/Dec/2016:16:29:18 +0100]
"GET /jkmanager HTTP/1.1" 500 536

Any ideas how to get more insight


I had a problem a while back where I would get 500 responses and
*nothing* else back. It took a lot of tinkering-around to figure out
the problem: my LDAP server wasn't acceptable for some reason and
mod_auth_ldap was choking.

I spent all my time trying to figure out what was wrong with mod_jk
and it was the authentication layer way before mod_jk was being consulte
d.

If you require authorization for jkmanager (and you should!) make sure
that's working as expected before banging your head against mod_jk.

Also, make sure you are using the latest mod_jk that you can: the
distribution is separate from httpd.
