How do I set up mod_auth_cas for a VirtualHost?
I have the following in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
:
Include /private/etc/apache2/passenger_pane_vhosts/*.conf
I have the following in /etc/apache2/passenger_pane_vhosts/my_site.conf
:
LoadModule auth_cas_module /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_auth_cas.so
CASCookiePath /tmp/mod_auth_cas/
CASVersion 2
CASDebug on
CASValidateServer off
CASAllowWildcardCert on
CASTimeout 86400
CASIdleTimeout 7200
CASLoginURL https://cas.mycompany.com/cas/login
CASValidateURL https://cas.mycompany.com/cas/serviceValidate
CASCookieDomain hattip-dev.mitre.org
LogLevel debug
<VirtualHost *:80>
LogLevel debug
ServerName hattip.local
DocumentRoot "/path/to/rails_app/public"
RailsEnv development
<Location />
AuthType CAS
AuthName "MyCompany CAS"
CASAuthNHeader MOD_AUTH_CAS_USER
require valid-user
</Location>
<directory "/path/to/rails_app/public">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</directory>
</VirtualHost>
Apache will start fine, but every request to my Rails application returns a 403 without redirecting to my CAS server. There is no CAS-related information in the logs, even though CASDebug
is on
and LogLevel
is debug
everywhere I can think to set it.
PS: I've tried a few variations of the above configuration, including putting the mod_auth_cas
declarations inside the <VirtualHost>
definition, but most fail on startup. I've also tried deleting the <Location>
block and moving that authentication into the <Directory>
block: no change.
Does anyone know how I can get mod_auth_cas
to actually redirect to my CAS server?

Solution 1:
Got it. The answer was to combine the <Location>
and <Directory>
blocks and add a Satisfy
directive:
LoadModule auth_cas_module /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_auth_cas.so
CASCookiePath /tmp/mod_auth_cas/
CASVersion 2
CASDebug on
CASValidateServer off
CASAllowWildcardCert on
CASTimeout 86400
CASIdleTimeout 7200
LogLevel debug
<VirtualHost *:80>
CASCookieDomain "myapp"
CASLoginURL "https://cas.mycompany.com/cas/login"
CASValidateURL "https://cas.mycompany.com/cas/serviceValidate"
LogLevel debug
ServerName "myapp"
DocumentRoot "/path/to/rails_app/public"
RailsEnv development
<Location />
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
AuthType CAS
AuthName "MyCompany CAS"
require valid-user
Satisfy Any
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
