mod_auth_openid Documentation

Some Fossies usage hints in advance:

  1. To see the Doxygen generated documentation please click on one of the items in the steelblue colored "quick index" bar above or use the side panel at the left which displays a hierarchical tree-like index structure and is adjustable in width.
  2. If you want to search for something by keyword rather than browse for it you can use the client side search facility (using Javascript and DHTML) that provides live searching, i.e. the search results are presented and adapted as you type in the Search input field at the top right.
  3. Doxygen doesn't incorporate all member files but just a definable subset (basically the main project source code files that are written in a supported language). So to search and browse all member files you may visit the Fossies mod_auth_openid-0.8.tar.gz contents page and use the Fossies standard member browsing features (also with source code highlighting and additionally with optional code folding).
README

Basic Installation

First, you'll need a few prerequisites.

Next, run:

 ./configure

or

 ./configure --help

to see additional options that can be specified.

Next, run:

 make
 su root
 make install

Make sure that the file /tmp/mod_auth_openid.db is owned by the user running Apache. You can do this by (assuming www-data is the user running apache):

 su root
 touch /tmp/mod_auth_openid.db
 chown www-data /tmp/mod_auth_openid.db

Or you can specify an alternate location that the user running apache has write privieges on (see the docs for the AuthOpenIDDBLocation directive on the homepage).

Usage

In either a Directory, Location, or File directive in httpd.conf, place the following directive:

 AuthType            OpenID
 Require             valid-user

There are also additional, optional directives. See the homepage for a list and docs.

The user's identity URL will be available in the REMOTE_USER cgi environment variable after authentication.

See the project page for more information.
