现有的语种:  en

状态:Extension
模块名:auth_dbm_module
源文件:mod_auth_dbm.c

概要

This module provides for HTTP Basic Authentication, where the usernames and passwords are stored in DBM type database files. It is an alternative to the plain text password files provided by mod_auth.

AuthDBMAuthoritative 指令

说明:Sets whether authentication and authorization will be passwed on to lower level modules
语法:AuthDBMAuthoritative On|Off
默认值:AuthDBMAuthoritative On
上下文:目录, .htaccess
覆盖项:AuthConfig
状态:Extension
模块:mod_auth_dbm

Setting the AuthDBMAuthoritative directive explicitly to Off allows for both authentication and authorization to be passed on to lower level modules (as defined in the modules.c files) if there is no userID or rule matching the supplied userID. If there is a userID and/or rule specified; the usual password and access checks will be applied and a failure will give an "Authentication Required" reply.

So if a userID appears in the database of more than one module; or if a valid Require directive applies to more than one module; then the first module will verify the credentials; and no access is passed on; regardless of the AuthDBMAuthoritative setting.

A common use for this is in conjunction with one of the basic auth modules; such as mod_auth. Whereas this DBM module supplies the bulk of the user credential checking; a few (administrator) related accesses fall through to a lower level with a well protected .htpasswd file.

By default, control is not passed on and an unknown userID or rule will result in an "Authentication Required" reply. Not setting it thus keeps the system secure and forces an NCSA compliant behaviour.

Security:

Do consider the implications of allowing a user to allow fall-through in his .htaccess file; and verify that this is really what you want; Generally it is easier to just secure a single .htpasswd file, than it is to secure a database which might have more access interfaces.

AuthDBMGroupFile 指令

说明:Sets the name of the database file containing the list of user groups for authentication
语法:AuthDBMGroupFile file-path
上下文:目录, .htaccess
覆盖项:AuthConfig
状态:Extension
模块:mod_auth_dbm

The AuthDBMGroupFile directive sets the name of a DBM file containing the list of user groups for user authentication. File-path is the absolute path to the group file.

The group file is keyed on the username. The value for a user is a comma-separated list of the groups to which the users belongs. There must be no whitespace within the value, and it must never contain any colons.

Security: make sure that the AuthDBMGroupFile is stored outside the document tree of the web-server; do not put it in the directory that it protects. Otherwise, clients will be able to download the AuthDBMGroupFile unless otherwise protected.

Combining Group and Password DBM files: In some cases it is easier to manage a single database which contains both the password and group details for each user. This simplifies any support programs that need to be written: they now only have to deal with writing to and locking a single DBM file. This can be accomplished by first setting the group and password files to point to the same DBM:

AuthDBMGroupFile /www/userbase
AuthDBMUserFile /www/userbase

The key for the single DBM is the username. The value consists of

Unix Crypt-ed Password:List of Groups[:(ignored)]

The password section contains the encrypted password as before. This is followed by a colon and the comma separated list of groups. Other data may optionally be left in the DBM file after another colon; it is ignored by the authentication module. This is what www.telescope.org uses for its combined password and group database.

AuthDBMType 指令

说明:Sets the type of database file that is used to store passwords
语法:AuthDBMType default|SDBM|GDBM|NDBM|DB
默认值:AuthDBMType default
上下文:目录, .htaccess
覆盖项:AuthConfig
状态:Extension
模块:mod_auth_dbm
兼容性:Available in version 2.0.30 and later.

Sets the type of database file that is used to store the passwords. The default database type is determined at compile time. The availability of other types of database files also depends on compile-time settings.

It is crucial that whatever program you use to create your password files is configured to use the same type of database.

AuthDBMUserFile 指令

说明:Sets thename of a database file containing the list of users and passwords for authentication
语法:AuthDBMUserFile file-path
上下文:目录, .htaccess
覆盖项:AuthConfig
状态:Extension
模块:mod_auth_dbm

The AuthDBMUserFile directive sets the name of a DBM file containing the list of users and passwords for user authentication. File-path is the absolute path to the user file.

The user file is keyed on the username. The value for a user is the encrypted password, optionally followed by a colon and arbitrary data. The colon and the data following it will be ignored by the server.

Security:

Make sure that the AuthDBMUserFile is stored outside the document tree of the web-server; do not put it in the directory that it protects. Otherwise, clients will be able to download the AuthDBMUserFile.

Important compatibility note: The implementation of "dbmopen" in the apache modules reads the string length of the hashed values from the DBM data structures, rather than relying upon the string being NULL-appended. Some applications, such as the Netscape web server, rely upon the string being NULL-appended, so if you are having trouble using DBM files interchangeably between applications this may be a part of the problem.

A perl script called dbmmanage is included with Apache. This program can be used to create and update DBM format password files for use with this module.
