In spite of this, however, Heimdal support does not work. >How-To-Repeat: make KRB5_HOME=/usr install, then attempt SPNEGO authentication (not krb5 password gatewaying, which the pam_krb5 module could do perfectly well anyway) with a keytab not /etc/krb5.keytab (specified by Krb5Keytab in the httpd.conf). The directive appears to be ignored, as an error referring to "FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab" is returned upon attempting the authentication using Mozilla. >Fix: Heimdal has an existing API for performing the function that this plugin is attempting (that is, changing the location of the keytab to allow for least privilege for the service). Using it thusly makes things work for me: --- src/mod_auth_kerb.c.orig Tue Aug 10 08:01:01 2004 +++ src/mod_auth_kerb.c Wed Oct 5 20:25:38 2005 @@ -1108,6 +1108,7 @@ spnego_oid.elements = (void *)"\x2b\x06\x01\x05\x05\x02"; if (conf->krb_5_keytab) { +#ifndef HEIMDAL char *ktname; /* we don't use the ap_* calls here, since the string passed to putenv() * will become part of the enviroment and shouldn't be free()ed by apache @@ -1120,6 +1121,14 @@ } sprintf(ktname, "KRB5_KTNAME=%s", conf->krb_5_keytab); putenv(ktname); +#else + ret = gsskrb5_register_acceptor_identity(conf->krb_5_keytab); + if (ret) { + log_rerror(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_ERR, 0, r, "Setting KerberosV keytab failed: %s", strerror(errno)); + ret = HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR; + goto end; + } +#endif } ret = get_gss_creds(r, conf, &server_creds); I plan to send this PR over to the mod_auth_kerb guys in order to get it into the standard distribution. A smaller issue is the inaccurate description in the port. It makes no mention of SPNEGO ("HTTP Negotiate"/GSSAPI/Kerberos 5 authentication), and refers to a www/<host>@<REALM> principal whereas the canonical principal, and the default, is actually HTTP/<host>@<REALM>.
