• Overview

This module implements basic HTTP authentication against the password file created with the htpasswd(1) utility. The following password hashes are supported: Apache MD5, crypt(3), SHA1, and plaintext.

• Example

import basicauth;

sub vcl_recv {

if (!basicauth.match("/var/www/.htpasswd",

req.http.Authorization)) {

error 401 "Authentication required";

}

}

• Installation

In order to compile the package you need to have Varnish source tree. At least Varnish 3.0.1 is required. Supposing that the varnish source tree is available under /usr/src/varnish-3.0.1, run:

./configure --with-varnish-source=/usr/src/varnish-3.0.1

Once configured, do

make

This will build the module. After this step you can optionally run 'make test' to test the package.

Finally, do the following command as root:

make install

• Build deb package

  dpkg-buildpackage

• Documentation

The manual page vmod_basicauth(3) will be available after successful install. To read it without installing the module, run 'man src/vmod_basicauth.3'.
