- 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'.
