Changes with Tequila Apache module 1.0
1) Merge Apache1 and Apache2 sources. Now use make apache1 or make apache2 to
compile modules. It makes the source a little bit dirtier, but much easier
to maintain.
2) Full SSL support. 2 new directives added :
TequilaCAFile <cafile>
cafile contains the certificate of the certification authority that
signed the tequila server certificate.
TequilaCheckServerName
Tells the module to check that the server name matches the name in the
certificate it presents. All possible means of extracting the server
name from the certificate are tried.
3) Now the module sets environment variables which contains the values of the
user attributes. These variables are :
HTTP_TEQUILA_KEY
HTTP_TEQUILA_ORG
HTTP_TEQUILA_USER
HTTP_TEQUILA_HOST
HTTP_TEQUILA_PATH
HTTP_TEQUILA_FILTER
That means that you can use the module to protect CGI scripts and retrieve
the identity of the user. In very simple cases, this avoid to call the
languages API's.
4) Implements the new resource interface. That resources declared to the local
server can be accessed. This adds 3 keywords :
TequilaResource <name offthe resource>
TequilaKeyFile <file containing the SSL key of the ressource>
TequilaCertFile <file containing the SSL corresponding certificate>
5) It is now possible to set the service name of the login interface,
use :
TequilaService service_name
6) It is possible to ask the server for user attributes that will be set
in addition to default attributes (org, user, etc...). The new command
is TequilaRequest and the argiment is a list of Tequila attribute names
separated with white spaces or commas.
TequilaRequest name firstname unit
That's all for now.
