Re: Override Authentication for one sub directory

So any user with no login or password will get in. Actually I don't even want the login prompt to appear. we talk about this in the cookbook - recipe 13.5. basically, you need to disable authentication for the directories in question. see http://www.modperlcookbook.org/code/ch13/Cookbook/PassLocalIP.pm for the example from the book, which disables auth phases for allowed IPs. also keep in mind the Satisfy Any directive, which is what you probably should use if you're thinking about IP based stuff :) HTH --Geoff

Re: Override Authentication for one sub directory
This might be a bit OT, but since I've read somewhere on apache.org that Apache2 was using the same regex engine as Perl 5's...

Apache HTTPD seems to be running fine. Do I have the right version of apache and mod_perl? I'm unpacking mod_perl2.tar. perl mpinstall does not seem to be giving me any errors.

Apache::DBI on mp2
My setup is as follows:
Apache/2.0.44 (Gentoo/Linux) mod_perl/1.99_08 Perl/v5.8.0
mod_perl was built from CVS.
I was interested in getting Apache::DBI to run under mp2. I did read

With the following patch I was able to get connect_on_init to work under

Anyone else who is running mp2 (no compat mode) willing to give it a try?
Of course, then the gurus can come in and clean up the code so that it
works under either mp1 or mp2.

prompting for secure data during startup.pl
I need to make some secure data available to mod_perl handlers, without
having it physically stored in a file, database, or named shared memory
(since if someone can read the handlers' code, then they could read the
sensitive data as well). So I need to prompt for it during server
(re)start-up, and stuff it away into a lexical variable that only the
handler can get at (i.e. another piece of code, or even another handler,
that blesses itself into my handler's package still cannot access the
data). Every httpd child process should have their own copy of the data.
Is there a solution or cookbook recipe for this yet?
Said another way, here's my basic handler code:
package MyHandler;
use Apache::Constants qw(OK DECLINED);
my $SECRET = secret;
my $SECRETSET = 0;
# only allow the secret to be set once, by startup.pl
sub set_secret { $SECRET = shift unless $SECRETSET++; }
sub handler($$) {
if ($SECRET eq secret) {
return DECLINED;
} else {
# go ahead, make use of $SECRET
# ...
return OK;
}
}
1;
__END__
And I want startup.pl to do this:
use Term::ReadPassword;
use MyHandler;
MyHandler::set_secret(read_password(Enter secret:));
__END__
Does this make sense? Will this work? Will this be secure? (as long as
no one intercepts my call to set_secret() in startup.pl by installing a
bogus MyHandler.pm in my lib search path ...).
Thanks,
-Aaron

By making these variables part of a closure, you are making it impossible for people to read it directly with Perl code. Of course there is nothing you can do to prevent someone with full access to your server from running C code that will walk Perl's variables until it finds $secret.

ANNOUNCE: Apache::SessionX 2.00b5
The URL ftp://ftp.dev.ecos.de/pub/perl/session/Apache-SessionX-2.00b5.tar.gz has entered CPAN as file: $CPAN/authors/id/G/GR/GRICHTER/Apache-SessionX-2.00b5.tar.gz size: 11981 bytes md5: d9bb7317e8ffed14ebdb276cd3b729b4 Apache::SessionX extents Apache::Session. It was initialy written to use Apache::Session from inside of Embperl, but is seems to be usefull outside of Embperl as well, so here is it as standalone module. Apache::Session is a persistence framework which is particularly useful for tracking session data between httpd requests. Apache::Session is designed to work with Apache and mod_perl, but it should work under CGI and other web servers, and it also works outside of a web server alltogether. Addtionaly to Apache::Session, Apache::SessionX provides the following possibilites: - Configuration: Makefile.PL checks which componemnts are installed on the system and interactivly builds a set of configuration, including a default one. This configurations are saved and can be used by name later on. The default configuration is used, if no parameters are given to Apache::SessionX. This simplifies the configuration and usage. - Lazy operation: Apache::SessionX supports lazy operation, that means that the actual data access only takes place if the session data is needed, so you are able to setup the session object, without worrying about performance in case you don't access the session data. - Specifing the ID: Apache::SessionX can use a given ID instead of creating it's own one. You can also give an string which is used to generate the ID - Genrate unique ID: Apache::SessionX is able to save the session with an new ID every time data is modified. This make it possible to keep an history. - Addtionaly methods are provided to get the ID, the inital ID, the modified status and to close a session, without destroying the session object itself. Additional features like session expiration are partial implemented. Enjoy Gerald Changes since 2.00b3: - make test now works without Timer::HiRes installed - included patch from Robert for iteration over all sessions - created new class Apache::SessionX::Manager, which is used to performs actions on multiple sessions. (first, next, count) (Only File Store currently supports this methods). - Use Digest::MD5 instead of MD5 -- Gerald Richter ecos electronic communication services gmbh IT-Securitylösungen * dynamische Webapplikationen * Consulting Post: Tulpenstrasse 5 D-55276 Dienheim b.

Re: Apache::DBI on mp2
FWIW, we are discussing the internal DBI pooling mechanism at the dbi-dev list
and having already a sort-of-working prototype. So hopefully there will be no
need for Apache::DBI in the near future, as DBI will be able to handle pooling
internally. However it may take some time, as the drivers will have to adjust
to support the new functionality.

[mp2] disabling a perl handler within a specific location
Hi list :-) Does anyone know how one goes about disabling a particular handler within a specific location? For example, consider the following: Location / PerlInitHandler config PerlOutputFilterHandler filter /Location LocationMatch /(images|gfx)/ ## what can I put here to say don't run to the above handlers? /Location ## OR Files ~ \.(jpg|jpe?g|gif|png)$ ## something here... /Files For all HTTP requests for files everywhere excluding directories with /images/ and /gfx/ in it, I want to run my PerlInitHandler and my PerlOutputFilterHandler. All my handlers do is set up some config variables and run an xml filter. It's useless overhead to run these handlers on images. I'd change the directory structure so the image dirs and the perl locations don't overlap, but its just not practical for this app. I figure I can test for file/mime types of the requested file in my handlers, but I'd love to be able to deal with this issue from within httpd.conf. Here is my setup, in case you need it: mp 1.99_08 apache 2.0.44 Linux RH 7.2 I would appreciate any thoughts about this at all! Even a 'I think your going about this entirely the wrong way' would be helpful. This is all development software I'm working on, so I'm free to change alot. Thanks! -m ## Matt J.

This is not really a mp2 specific question I believe, unless I'm missing
something. You have to do the same in mp1.
I guess there might be a way to do that, but the simplest idiomatic modperl
approach is to make the decisions once you are inside the Init handler.
Location /
PerlInitHandler Foo::handler
/Location
package Foo;
# load the modules/constants here
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
return Apache::DECLINED if $r-uri =~ /(?:jpe?g|gif|png)$/;
$r-push_handlers(PerlOutputFilterHandler = \filter_handler);
return Apache::OK;
