Hi everyone
I am running Django 1.5.2, using Apache 2.2.22, (WSGI) on Linux Ubuntu
12.10. I am a Django newbie and am trying to get my head around the
following problem.
I am trying to utilise x509 user certificates for user login. Apache
handles the request for the user certificate and validates against the
CA certificate (I see this occurring in the Apache logs). The details
within the certificate (name and email) will then need to be validated
against the user details present in the pre-populated db (this is to
implement).
My problem, is that I cannot seem to access the certificate
details/information that are exchanged. I received feedback from
Florian (Apollo13), who suggested looking in the "REMOTE_USER" of the
request.META. I do not see this value within the META. I have also
attempted to use the django-ssl-client-auth code provided by Kimmo
(Kimvais). The code looks for "HTTP_X_SSL_USER_DN" within the META but
I don't see this either (list of META values -
https://dpaste.de/D9UW). None of the values I see, seems to contain
anything about the certificate details that I see exchanged in the
Apache log. Is the Apache exchange even available to Django/WSGI (I
think it surely would be ) ?
There is some mention of using environmental variables, but this
generally involves mod_python, which I'm not using.
I would be most appreciative of pointers or directions to help clear
up my misunderstanding / lack of knowledge.
Liam
