Dear System Administrator,
|
|
|
|
with apache 2.4, some changes have been introduced that affect apache's
|
|
access control scheme.
|
|
|
|
Previously, the directives "Allow", "Deny" and "Order" have determined
|
|
if access to a resource has been granted with apache 2.2.
|
|
Example (from /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, the main apache configuration file):
|
|
<Directory />
|
|
Options None
|
|
AllowOverride None
|
|
Order deny,allow
|
|
Deny from all
|
|
</Directory>
|
|
|
|
With 2.4, these directives have been replaced by the "Require" directive,
|
|
which is contained in the mod_authz_core module, and enhanced by the
|
|
mod_authz_host module.
|
|
"Require" understands several regulative groups, such as
|
|
env access granted if an apache environment variable is set
|
|
method access granted only for given HTTP methods (GET, POST, ...)
|
|
expr access granted if the expression following expr evaluates to true
|
|
user access granted if the named users can access the resource
|
|
group analogous to user for groups
|
|
valid-user access granted if a valid user requests it
|
|
ip access granted if the client's IP address matches
|
|
all granted unconditionally accepted/granted
|
|
all denied unconditionally denied access
|
|
|
|
By consequence, the set of 2.2 directives
|
|
Order deny,allow
|
|
Deny from all
|
|
can be translated to the apache 2.4 Require directive
|
|
Require all denied
|
|
|
|
|
|
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 package set for apache comes with a compatibility
|
|
module called mod_access_compat, which, if loaded, causes apache to understand
|
|
the 2.2 "Allow/Deny" directives. Unfortunately, the mixed usage of the
|
|
2.2 "Allow/Deny" and the 2.4 "Require" directive will lead to either unexpected
|
|
or inconclusive results. By consequence, one should decide if the 2.2 or the
|
|
2.4 access control mimics shall be used.
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, it is easy to switch from the new back to the old scheme:
|
|
|
|
a2enmod access_compat
|
|
|
|
will enable the 2.2 scheme,
|
|
|
|
a2enmod -d access_compat
|
|
|
|
will disable the old scheme again, thereby enabling the new scheme.
|
|
Of course, an apache restart is needed:
|
|
|
|
systemctl restart apache2
|
|
|
|
The SUSE apache configuration framework can work with both the new and the
|
|
old scheme, conditional if the access_compat apache module is loaded.
|
|
|
|

|
