Package request: mod_auth_gssapi (plus steps for compile it)

  • 1.  Package request: mod_auth_gssapi (plus steps for compile it)

    Posted Thu April 08, 2021 09:00 AM
    I found mod_auth_gssapi httpd module very useful in enterprise environment - especially for Kerberos authentication (using keytab). Could you please add it to repository?

    Source: gssapi/mod_auth_gssapi

    I have successfully compiled it by myself using tools provided in AIX Toolbox and AIX.

    Below I provide steps for getting it works - maybe it will be helpful for other and speed-up process of providing this package in AIX Toolbox :)

    Preparation

    yum install make.ppc autoconf libtool m4 gcc gawk bison flex tar.ppc httpd-devel krb5-devel krb5-pkinit-openssl -y

    ln -s /opt/freeware/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc

    There is also needed package from PIP repository:
     
    pip install gssapi

    Get sources of module from GIT repository:
     
    wget
    https://github.com/gssapi/mod_auth_gssapi/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
    Unzip it in separate directory:
     
    mkdir /tmp/gssapi
cd /tmp/gssapi
unzip master.zip

    Compilation

    export PATH=$PATH:/opt/freeware/bin
export M4=/opt/freeware/bin/m4

     
    autoreconf -fi
OPENSSL_LIBS="-L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypt" OPENSSL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/openssl" ./configure

    Edit (or use sed) below files and change text lib64 to lib:
     
    Makefile
config.status

    Final compilation:
     
    make

    Installation

    Simply place output module into httpd module's directory:

     
    cp ./src/.libs/mod_auth_gssapi.so /opt/freeware/lib/httpd/modules/

    Then you can use module in httpd Apache configuration as on any Linux platform:

     
    LoadModule auth_gssapi_module /opt/freeware/lib/httpd/modules/mod_auth_gssapi.so
