SecureEnabled Apache Authentication module
The WWPass Apache Authentication Module 2.0 (mod_auth_wwpass) authenticates users on Apache HTTP servers via the WWPass infrastructure. By using this method, the Apache server acts as a WWPass Service Provider.
When Apache is configured with a fallback to other authentication methods, mod_auth_wwpass preserves the ability to use login/password pairs and provides a seamless binding of WWPass Key information to an existing user account.
Features
Current version of mod_auth_wwpass allows the following actions:
- Authenticate user with his PassKey via WWPass Access Manager either using JavaScript or by redirects;
- Store user's authenticated session in sqlite3 database for a set period of time after authentication;
- Pass user's authentication data as false cookies to Server-side scripts;
- Pass authentication to other modules in case of any authentication failure;
- Automatically assign user names based on authentication by other modules.
Supported Operating Systems
Currently only POSIX compliant operating systems are supported. Support for Microsoft Windows based operating systems can be requested and may be available in the future.
