I have a need to run different CGI programs as different user IDs and turned to suexec. The problem is that suexec only works for virtual hosts and/or user directories. My setup uses neither virtual hosts nor user directories.
In suexec terms I understand the following: Using Virtual Hosts http://user1.virthost.com/cgi-bin/x can run as user1 http://user2.virthost.com/cgi-bin/x can run as user2 (setting SuexecUserGroup properly in the VirtualHost definition) Using User Directories http://www.hostname.com/~user1/x can run as user1 http://www.hostname.com/~user2/x can run as user2 (CGI's are located in the appropriate users public_html directory in their account) What I am looking for is http://www.hostname.com/user1/x can run as user1 http://www.hostname.com/user2/x can run as user2 (user1 and user2 do not have accounts on the system but instead /user1 and /user2 are aliases to different local directories) The way I describe the problem in Apache config terms is "I need suexec functionality for the <Directory> directive" I have considered cgiwrap for this however cgiwrap requires changes to the URLs to embed the cgiwrap wrapper. This would mean application changes and redirection due to existing URLs people have bookmarked. Seems kludgy. mod_cgiwrap looked cool as it offered cgiwrap functionality without the URL issues. Unfortunately mod_cgiwrap is no longer under development and applies only to Apache 1.3x (I am running 2.0x). Any pointers would be appreciated. I am about to look at mod_rewrite to see if there are some funky URL translation activities I can use to address the URL issues with cgiwrap.
