<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi group,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm a new user to this list and I signed up to get
pam_auth_mod to work successfully with apache 2.0 when using .htaccess files and
no .htpasswd file.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm currently trying to get this to work on a
fedora system with apache 2.0.50 installed. If someone can tell me how the httpd
pam-file and the .htaccess file should look like, I'd be very
gratefull.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the moment I'm getting errors like:
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in /var/log/httpd/error_log:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[crit] [client 192.168.1.2] configuration
error: couldn't check user. No user file?: /testdir/</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(xxxxx = username)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the output of cat /etc/pam.d/httpd

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the .htaccess-file looks like this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>#ALL users on the RAQ550 can access this

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(This one results in the error No user file?:
/testdir/)</DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm also trying to get it to work on a fedora fc1
system with apache 2.0.50 installed - and with a BlueQuartz webadmin-system.
BlueQuartz is a translation of the Cobalt RAQ550 system for RedHat and Fedora.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I pretty much get the same errors
there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As far as I understand the BQ-system doesn't use
the shadow-password file. I also read somewhere that the RAQ550 was set up
so that it wouldn't be possible to use the raq-db with .htaccess because of
security reasons. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>During my research I found that Cobalt had a file
called mod_auth_pam-external so it could work with external databases. Does
anyone on the list know if there is such a module for apache 2.0?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope someone can help out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
