Thread: Apache authentication
I have a problem with apache authentication.
I recently upgrade to postgresql v7.1, upgrading debian distribution (to woody, testing distribution)
and i discovered that the pakage for apache authentication is no longer there.
(may be they suggest to use PAM instead)
This is really a problem for me for i use it in many sites!

I tried to use old module (for version 6.5 of db) does not work!
Does anybody knows where can i found a module for apache authentication with postgresql 7.1?
Does it work recompiling old module with new libraries?
thanks in advance ...

How were you authenticating before? There are LOTS of Apache modules for authentication, such as mod_auth_ldap, mod_auth_dbi, mod_auth_cookies, etc. It would help to know exactly what you were using. This also sounds like it may be more a problem with the new apache configuration than with postgresql.

Hi Giorgio, You might find mod_auth_pgsql useful : http://www.giuseppetanzilli.it/mod_auth_pgsql/ Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift wsheldah@lexmark.com wrote: > > How were you authenticating before?

Thanks all who replied me ... i suceed compiling the module from the site above and all is ok! If someone else needs it, I did it so: I only need same little change on the INSTALL istruction to fit debian conventiones ... I used apxs and exec ONLY the following instruction ... - install debina modules : postgresql-dev, apache-dev libdb3-dev (for headers ... and required libraries) - exec: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs --with-pgsql=/usr/include/postgresql - compile the module with: apxs -I/usr/include/postgresql/include -L/usr/lib -lpq -o mod_auth_pgsql.so -c mod_auth_pgsql.c auth_pgsql_shared_stub.c - insatll the module using: apxs -i -a -n auth_pgsql mod_auth_pgsql.so Giuseppe Tanzilli - CSF wrote: > Ciao, > try mod_auth_pgsql at http://www.giuseppetanzilli.t/mod_auth_pgsql/ > > bye > > Giorgio Volpe wrote: > > > I have a problem with apache authentication. > > I recently upgrade to postgresql v7.1, upgrading debian distribution > > (to woody, testing distribution) > > and i discovered that the pakage for apache authentication is no > > longer there. > > (may be they suggest to use PAM instead) > > This is really a problem for me for i use it in many sites! > > > > I tried to use old module (for version 6.5 of db) does not work! > > > > Does anybody knows where can i found a module for apache > > authentication with postgresql 7.1? > > Does it work recompiling old module with new libraries? > > > > thanks in advance ... > > > > > >-- > > > > Giorgio > > > >----------------------------------------- > > > > > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------- > Giuseppe Tanzilli g.tanzilli@gruppocsf.com > CSF Sistemi srl phone ++39 0775 7771 > Via del Ciavattino > Anagni FR > Italy > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? > > http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl -- Giorgio -----------------------------------------
