If you haven't already run the module enabler, you can manually enable
Kerberos support by adding the following lines into httpd.conf near the
other authentication modules.
# user authentication using kerberos
LoadModule auth_kerb_module /usr/lib/apache/modules/mod_auth_kerb.so
To require Kerberos authenication for a directory (or file or location),
enclose that location in a block that looks like this. The mod_auth_kerb
documentation is a bit sketchy yet, but this was taken from a working OpenBSD
machine using mod_auth_kerb. Only the names have been changed to protect
the realm. Obviously, you must have Kerberos working before this module can
do anything useful.
# A Kerberos Authenticated Directory
<Directory /var/www/htdocs/private>
AuthType Kerberos
AuthName "Kerberos Userid and Password"
KrbMethodNegotiate off
KrbMethodK5Passwd on
KrbAuthRealms YOUR.REALM
KrbVerifyKDC on
Krb5Keytab /var/www/conf/httpd.keytab
KrbServiceName http
require valid-user
</Directory>
It is suggested that you create a keytab for httpd that is readable but not
writeable by apache, and has no relation to your other Kerberos keys. One
way to do this:
ktutil -k /var/www/conf/httpd.keytab add -V 1 -e des-cbc-crc \
-w PASSWORD -p http/host.domain.tld@REALM.TLD
chown root:www /var/www/conf/httpd.keytab
chmod 0440 /var/www/conf/httpd.keytab
Thus, if httpd is ever convinced to give access to the keytab, it will be
unable to make changes to the keytab, and will be unable to do anything more
than serve up its own keytab (which is bad enough).
