Apache HTTP Server Version 2.2
Description: | User authentication using MD5 Digest Authentication. |
---|---|
Status: | Extension |
Module Identifier: | auth_digest_module |
Source File: | mod_auth_digest.c |
This module implements HTTP Digest Authentication
(RFC2617), and
provides a more secure alternative to mod_auth_basic
.
Using MD5 Digest authentication is very simple. Simply set
up authentication normally, using AuthType Digest
and
AuthDigestProvider
instead of the normal AuthType Basic
and
AuthBasicProvider
.
Then add a AuthDigestDomain
directive containing at least the root
URI(s) for this protection space.
Appropriate user (text) files can be created using the
htdigest
tool.
<Location /private/>
AuthType Digest
AuthName "private area"
AuthDigestDomain /private/ http://mirror.my.dom/private2/
AuthDigestProvider file
AuthUserFile /web/auth/.digest_pw
Require valid-user
</Location>
Digest authentication is more secure than Basic authentication, but only works with supporting browsers. As of this writing (December 2012) all major browsers support digest authentication.
Description: | Selects the algorithm used to calculate the challenge and response hashes in digest authentication |
---|---|
Syntax: | AuthDigestAlgorithm MD5|MD5-sess |
Default: | AuthDigestAlgorithm MD5 |
Context: | directory, .htaccess |
Override: | AuthConfig |
Status: | Extension |
Module: | mod_auth_digest |
The AuthDigestAlgorithm
directive
selects the algorithm used to calculate the challenge and response
hashes.
MD5-sess
is not correctly implemented yet.
Description: | URIs that are in the same protection space for digest authentication |
---|---|
Syntax: | AuthDigestDomain URI [URI] ... |
Context: | directory, .htaccess |
Override: | AuthConfig |
Status: | Extension |
Module: | mod_auth_digest |
The AuthDigestDomain
directive allows
you to specify one or more URIs which are in the same protection
space (i.e. use the same realm and username/password info).
The specified URIs are prefixes; the client will assume
that all URIs "below" these are also protected by the same
username/password. The URIs may be either absolute URIs (i.e.
including a scheme, host, port, etc.) or relative URIs.
This directive should always be specified and
contain at least the (set of) root URI(s) for this space.
Omitting to do so will cause the client to send the
Authorization header for every request sent to this
server. Apart from increasing the size of the request, it may
also have a detrimental effect on performance if AuthDigestNcCheck
is on.
The URIs specified can also point to different servers, in which case clients (which understand this) will then share username/password info across multiple servers without prompting the user each time.
Description: | Enables or disables checking of the nonce-count sent by the server |
---|---|
Syntax: | AuthDigestNcCheck On|Off |
Default: | AuthDigestNcCheck Off |
Context: | server config |
Status: | Extension |
Module: | mod_auth_digest |
Description: | Determines how the nonce is generated |
---|---|
Syntax: | AuthDigestNonceFormat format |
Context: | directory, .htaccess |
Override: | AuthConfig |
Status: | Extension |
Module: | mod_auth_digest |
Description: | How long the server nonce is valid |
---|---|
Syntax: | AuthDigestNonceLifetime seconds |
Default: | AuthDigestNonceLifetime 300 |
Context: | directory, .htaccess |
Override: | AuthConfig |
Status: | Extension |
Module: | mod_auth_digest |
The AuthDigestNonceLifetime
directive
controls how long the server nonce is valid. When the client
contacts the server using an expired nonce the server will send
back a 401 with stale=true
. If seconds is
greater than 0 then it specifies the amount of time for which the
nonce is valid; this should probably never be set to less than 10
seconds. If seconds is less than 0 then the nonce never
expires.
Description: | Sets the authentication provider(s) for this location |
---|---|
Syntax: | AuthDigestProvider provider-name
[provider-name] ... |
Default: | AuthDigestProvider file |
Context: | directory, .htaccess |
Override: | AuthConfig |
Status: | Extension |
Module: | mod_auth_digest |
The AuthDigestProvider
directive sets
which provider is used to authenticate the users for this location.
The default file
provider is implemented
by the mod_authn_file
module. Make sure
that the chosen provider module is present in the server.
See mod_authn_dbm
, mod_authn_file
,
and mod_authn_dbd
for providers.
Description: | Determines the quality-of-protection to use in digest authentication |
---|---|
Syntax: | AuthDigestQop none|auth|auth-int [auth|auth-int] |
Default: | AuthDigestQop auth |
Context: | directory, .htaccess |
Override: | AuthConfig |
Status: | Extension |
Module: | mod_auth_digest |
The AuthDigestQop
directive determines
the quality-of-protection to use. auth
will
only do authentication (username/password); auth-int
is
authentication plus integrity checking (an MD5 hash of the entity
is also computed and checked); none
will cause the module
to use the old RFC-2069 digest algorithm (which does not include
integrity checking). Both auth
and auth-int
may
be specified, in which the case the browser will choose which of
these to use. none
should only be used if the browser for
some reason does not like the challenge it receives otherwise.
auth-int
is not implemented yet.
Description: | The amount of shared memory to allocate for keeping track of clients |
---|---|
Syntax: | AuthDigestShmemSize size |
Default: | AuthDigestShmemSize 1000 |
Context: | server config |
Status: | Extension |
Module: | mod_auth_digest |
The AuthDigestShmemSize
directive defines
the amount of shared memory, that will be allocated at the server
startup for keeping track of clients. Note that the shared memory
segment cannot be set less than the space that is necessary for
tracking at least one client. This value is dependant on your
system. If you want to find out the exact value, you may simply
set AuthDigestShmemSize
to the value of
0
and read the error message after trying to start the
server.
The size is normally expressed in Bytes, but you
may let the number follow a K
or an M
to
express your value as KBytes or MBytes. For example, the following
directives are all equivalent:
AuthDigestShmemSize 1048576
AuthDigestShmemSize 1024K
AuthDigestShmemSize 1M
