Hi,
I've been having a dabble, using a perl module to handle some of
our authentication requirements. I have the perl auth handler working
successfully but the username is not logged in access_log.
I have the following code in my perl module:
my $username = "test_user";
$r->user($username);
return OK;
I can see from my PHP script that the REMOTE_USER variable has been
set successfully.
I am using the following LogFormat for access_log:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\"
\"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
Any pointers as to how I can get the username logged in access_log?
Many thanks in advance,
Neil.
I found it necessary to do the following in my Perl auth handler as well
as $r->user($username) (assuming Apache2 API):
$r->subprocess_env('REMOTE_USER' => $username);
$r->set_basic_credentials($username, $password);
Bingo - that's the one. As password doesn't make sense I've set it to
"" and it works a treat.
I can't exactly recall the reasons, something about which process
(parent or child) writes the environment variables vs. which process
does the logging, or perhaps the order in which Apache sets variables
and writes to the log. Or perhaps it was just overkill on my part, not
wanting to miss anything. But it's working for me.
Many thanks,
Neil.
