RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] File permissions in an Apache enviroment

[Tomas Larsson]

Well, the problem is I cant put the username and the password in the url,
http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/scriptdir/script is not allowed, thats the reason
why I cant use .htpasswd to protect the dir.
If it wasn't for this restriction I would be able to use .htpasswd w/o any
problem.
so-far Ive put 100 on the dir, and I have done some simple checks, like I
cant wget anything from the dir, if I wget an existing filename I get 0
bytes.

With best regards

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Keeping denial statements from interfering with each other?

[Hadmut Danisch]

Hi,

just a problem occuring with an apache server:


The config contains common rules to deny access to particular files,
e.g.

 
   Order allow,deny
   Deny from all
 


Works as expected.


But now the site was under attack from particular IP addresses. A section


 deny from a.b.c.d/20
The strange side effect was that now the .htaccess files became readible 
from

ip addresses other than a.b.c.d, because the Location directive is evaluated
after the Files directive and overrides it in the sense that everything 
from

IP addresses other than a.b.c.d is allowed.

What is the best way to keep such deny clauses from interferring with 
each other?



regards
Hadmut

That's a client restriction and has nothing to do with apache.

You can use Order/Allow/Deny to restrict by IP address. Other than
that, you need to specify how you expect to differentiate between you
authorized and unauthorized users.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Question Using mod_auth

[Bryan Richardson]

Hello all,

I currently have Apache 2.2 sitting in front of my Ruby on Rails
application, proxying non-static requests to the Rails server running on a
different port.  I have an admin portion of my Rails application that is
accessed by going to www.mysite.com/admin/.  I want to protect the admin
portion using mod_auth in Apache, and I was wondering if that would be
possible since I'm proxying that type of stuff to my Rails server.  Can I
implement a Rewrite rule to look for attempts to access the admin/ portion
of the application and force authorization?  If so, can someone provide me
with an example?  If not, is it possible to do this another way?  Below is
the relevant portion of my config file that I use to proxy the requests.

  
Allow from All
  

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule ^/$ /index.html [QSA]
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule .* http://127.0.0.1:3001%{REQUEST_URI} [L,P,QSA]

Thanks in advance!!! -- BTR

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Configuring ssl on apache 2 and Leopard 10.5.1

[Ben assis]

Hi all,
On an imac intel dual core, I recently migrated to Leopard from
Tiger 10.4.10. On my Tiger client, I had installed my own web server
using openssl and mod_ssl with Apache 1.3 server; https was working
fine.
On Leopard with apache 2.2.6 and OpenSSL 0.9.7,  I cannot set my own web
server
to work with openssl under https protocol.
Here are relevant informations about my settings :

As my ISP is blocking ports 80 and 443, I was using ports 8080 and 8083
under Tiger.
Under Leopard, as I could not set my server to work with ssl, I discovered,
using nmap, that only port 8080 is working for http and port 88 for
kerberos.


I tested my ports with http://www.canyouseeme.org/, I got the same result :
only two ports are opened.

So I phoned my ISP where techs told me that only a few ports were blocked
(22, 25, 80, 443,...) and port 8083 was still working on their side !
As my ISP doesn't block port 8083, I must understand that the problem is in
my machine... but where ? I do not have any firewall or router. Is it
possible that the Apache 2 server could be responsible ?


Other relevant information :

- I must point out that ssl module is loaded in my httpd.conf.
- In httpd-vhosts.conf I have declared 2 virtual hosts which work
 fine without httpd-ssl.conf and actually port 8080 is working fine for
http.
- Phpinfo() tells me that openssl 0.97l is enabled.


Any idea ?
Thanks

Yes I know, it's the way may hosts "CRON-job" implementation works.

Basically it is a MySQL backup-script written in PHP.
It is called by the "CRON-implementation" my host has.
It works by calling my virtual server with the url to the directory with the
script and the script itself, ie http://mydomain/scriptlocation/script.php
Obviously, doing it this way it is sort of open for the "general public"
provided that they know what to look for.
So obviously I don't want anyone else to go into it.
It should only be accessible for the Cron-command.
I guess that I need to implement some sort of password-control in the script
itself, but I want the directory totaly safe from anybody else.

When you upgraded, you probably also introduced Leopard's own firewall.

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DBDmysql connecting but not authenticating

Greetings!
I've been running OS-X 10.3.9, with apache2.2.3 [ldap w/failover to

upgraded our test server to OSX 10.5, apache2.2.6 & mysql5.0.51. The
problem is that while the DBDDriver connects it refuses to authenticate
valid users. The apache logs which are set to debug return:
"user jones: authentication failure for "/ProtectedArea": Password Mismatch"
When I deliberately provide an unknown user the logs return: "user mary
not found: /ProtectedArea"

It sounds like you are getting *something* returned by your authentication query, just not the exact 
password hash.


Possibly the problem is trailing spaces.  The behavior of MySQL CHAR and VARCHAR fields for trailing 
spaces has changed over time per http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/char.html


Try a SQL statement like:  "SELECT TRIM(password_field) FROM user_table WHERE 
user_field = %s"
instead of:  "SELECT password_field FROM user_table WHERE user_field = %s"

Additional clues might be found by enabling MySQL logging per:
  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/query-log.html
and checking what your SQL statement actually looks like to MySQL.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Would like to understand this weird url request

[Robinson Craig]

Hi Folks,

When I request the following URL from our webserver (via a browser):

http://www.nrw.qld.gov.au/vegetation/index.html/templates/headline_temp.
php

I get the weirdest thingI actually get a response as if what I was
really requesting was:

http://www.nrw.qld.gov.au/vegetation/index.html

In the htdocs directory structure, /vegetation/index.html is a file not
a dir, and there definitely isn't a
/vegetation/index.html/templates/headline_temp.php file.

If anyone can help me understand this phenomena, I would be greatly
appreciated.

What you'll find is that the remaining part of the URL ('/templates/ 
headline_temp.php') is passed to the request as pathinfo.  A static  
file (like index.html) can typically not do a whole lot with that  
information, but a program like a CGI or PHP script can... try making  
test-cgi in your cgi-bin directory executable and calling http://yourserver/cgi-bin/test-cgi/foo/bar 
.  You'll see the CGI get executed, and an environment variable  
PATH_INFO is passed in with the /foo/bar bit.


I guess the canonical question is: what is your intention when you  
request the original URL?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mod_disk_cache

[Campbell, Lance]

httpd-2.0.59

 

Does mod_disk_cache support a mechanism that one can request a
particular URL to have its content refreshed?

 

I know you can delete the entire disk cache root and it will then
refresh the content.  But is there a way to just request that a
particular URL be refreshed within the cached content?

 

I thought I would create multiple disk caches and then delete the cached
files in the disk cache I wanted to refresh.  But it looks like a
virtual host can only have one disk cache in it.  Is this true?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Will Apache still work with Windows SP1?

[Nir Ofek]

Hi there,

Thanks for anyone who might be willing and able to help me (me = a total
Apache novice) with this question.

The Apache documentation
statesthat
for running Apache HTTP for windows XP, I should download SP2.
However,
I have SP1, and want to avoid the risk of installing SP2.

*Any idea if Apache will still run well with SP1, or if indeed downloading
SP2 is critical for Apache?*

Many thanks,

Nir

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Rewrite rule security question

[Lars]

Hello list!

I am working on a admin site and I'm using htaccess for access
restrictions. I have a script that generates the htaccess file and I
think it is pretty secure but I want to have yours opinions..

I use ip restrictions, and cookie restrictions. I use standard php
session for generating and setting session cookie. The .htaccess file
generated looks like this:

#--
RewriteEngine on

Order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from  80.80.80.80 90.90.90.90

RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:user1,E=PHP_AUTH_USER:user2,C]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*PHPSESSID=cccdddeeefff111222333.*$

RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:user2,E=PHP_AUTH_USER:user2,C]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*PHPSESSID=888777666555444332211aabb.*$

RewriteRule .*$ - [F]

ErrorDocument 403 /index.php?error403
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error404
#--

Is this a secure way of doing this? Is there anything I can do
different or more secure? The REMOTE_USER and PHP_AUTH_USER variables
needs to be set for making some admin tools inside the .htaccess admin
dir work. Like trac..


In front thanks,
  Lars

Hmmm

hit a snag

how would I expand this rule to capture and convert the following?

your.host.name -> YourHostName (works with rule)
YOUR.HOST.NAME -> YourHostName (currently not handled)
Yo-ur.HOST.name -> YourHostName (currently not handled)

effectively the spec would be to take /doc/FQDN (regardless of case presented)
and capitaliseing every dot separated word returning
/doc/FullyQualifiedDomainName removing any characters other than [A-Z][a-z][0-9]

 End original message. -

If I were to do something like this, I would most likely use the 
RewriteMap directive to pass the incoming URL to a short Perl script
