I am wondering if this is the best way of setting up a site to use SSL for admin login. If so then consider this a HOWTO. If not, any direction is appreciated. (My motivation for posting is mostly that I struggled until I realized that you need PythonInterpreter for you mod_python configuration.)
We use LDAP authentication for admin access and want to use SSL for the login. We use different settings files for each virtual host. The settingsadmin.py file adds 'django.contrib.admin' to INSTALLED_APPS, includes the appropriate MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES, such as 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', and points to a limited ROOT_URLCONF. If you are using IP-based virtual hosts and the server name is the same for each, it appears that you must set PythonInterpreter for each container. (see http://article.gmane.org/ gmane.comp.apache.user/66248) Excepted from our apache config: <VirtualHost 192.168.0.210:80> ServerName our.site.com #... Redirect permanent /admin/ https://our.site.com/admin/ <Location "/"> SetHandler python-program PythonPath "['/var/local/source/django_src'] + ['/var/sites/ ourroot'] + sys.path" PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE our.settingspublic PythonInterpreter public </Location> #... </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 192.168.0.210:443> ServerName our.site.com SSLEngine on #... <Location "/"> SetHandler python-program PythonPath "['/var/local/source/django_src'] + ['/var/sites/ ourroot'] + sys.path" PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE our.settingsadmin PythonInterpreter admin PythonDebug On </Location> #... </VirtualHost> It seems to work!
