For example, you +could: + + * Serve static/media files directly from Apache only to authenticated users. + + * Authenticate access to a Subversion_ repository against Django users with + a certain permission. + + * Allow certain users to connect to a WebDAV share created with mod_dav_. + +.. _Subversion: http://subversion.tigris.org/ +.. _mod_dav: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_dav.html + +Configuring Apache +================== + +To check against Django's authorization database from a Apache configuration +file, you'll need to use mod_python's ``PythonAuthenHandler`` directive along +with the standard ``Auth*`` and ``Require`` directives: + +.. code-block:: apache + + <Location /example/> + AuthType Basic + AuthName "example.com" + Require valid-user + + SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings + PythonAuthenHandler django.contrib.auth.handlers.modpython + </Location> + +.. admonition:: Using the authentication handler with Apache 2.2 + + If you're using Apache 2.2, you'll need to take a couple extra steps. + + You'll need to ensure that ``mod_auth_basic`` and ``mod_authz_user`` + are loaded. These might be compiled statically into Apache, or you might + need to use ``LoadModule`` to load them dynamically (as shown in the + example at the bottom of this note). + + You'll also need to insert configuration directives that prevent Apache + from trying to use other authentication modules, as well as specifying + the ``AuthUserFile`` directive and pointing it to ``/dev/null``. Depending + on which other authentication modules you have loaded, you might need one + or more of the following directives: + + .. code-block:: apache + + AuthBasicAuthoritative Off + AuthDefaultAuthoritative Off + AuthzLDAPAuthoritative Off + AuthzDBMAuthoritative Off + AuthzDefaultAuthoritative Off + AuthzGroupFileAuthoritative Off + AuthzOwnerAuthoritative Off + AuthzUserAuthoritative Off + + A complete configuration, with differences between Apache 2.0 and + Apache 2.2 marked in bold, would look something like: + + .. parsed-literal:: + + **LoadModule auth_basic_module modules/mod_auth_basic.so** + **LoadModule authz_user_module modules/mod_authz_user.so** + + ... + + <Location /example/> + AuthType Basic + AuthName "example.com" + **AuthUserFile /dev/null** + **AuthBasicAuthoritative Off** + Require valid-user + + SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings + PythonAuthenHandler django.contrib.auth.handlers.modpython + </Location> + +By default, the authentication handler will limit access to the ``/example/`` +location to users marked as staff members. You can use a set of +``PythonOption`` directives to modify this behavior: + + ================================ ========================================= + ``PythonOption`` Explanation + ================================ ========================================= + ``DjangoRequireStaffStatus`` If set to ``on`` only "staff" users (i.e. + those with the ``is_staff`` flag set) + will be allowed. + + Defaults to ``on``. + + ``DjangoRequireSuperuserStatus`` If set to ``on`` only superusers (i.e. + those with the ``is_superuser`` flag set) + will be allowed. + + Defaults to ``off``. + + ``DjangoPermissionName`` The name of a permission to require for + access. See :ref:`custom permissions + <custom-permissions>` for more + information. + + By default no specific permission will be + required. + ================================ ========================================= + +Note that sometimes ``SetEnv`` doesn't play well in this mod_python +configuration, for reasons unknown. If you're having problems getting +mod_python to recognize your ``DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE``, you can set it using +``PythonOption`` instead of ``SetEnv``. Therefore, these two Apache directives +are equivalent:: + + SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings + PythonOption DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings |
