DBUSER=user as above. AS THAT USER,
cd db; make init
THEN AS ROOT,
cd db; cp dbilogin.txt /usr/local/apache/conf/private
NOTE: This path is hard-coded in startup.pl, so if you change it, you must
change it consistently everywhere.
5. Set up IP Aliasing.
The demo shows the transfer of credentials between different hosts. You
don't actually need separate physical hosts, if your machine supports IP
aliasing.
On Linux, if you have an old kernel (<2.4?) read the HOWTO on IP Aliasing.
Otherwise (new linux kernels), ip aliasing is automatic. Here is the
relevant fragment from my /etc/hosts:
## prototype web devel virtual hosts (some Libertarians)
192.168.1.11 adam.acme.com adam smith
192.168.1.12 lysander.acme.com lysander spooner
192.168.1.13 tom.acme.com tom thomas paine
192.168.1.14 john.sec.acme.com john locke
192.168.1.15 milt.sec.acme.com milton friedman
192.168.1.16 noam.acme.org noam chomsky
192.168.1.17 stu.transacme.com jstuart mill
and here is a typical /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:?
DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.11
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
ONBOOT=yes
6. Start Apache and import certs
In utils, you will find X.509 client certificate bob.p12. Import it into
your browser according to its instructions (Netscape: Security =>
Certificates:Yours => Import a Certificate ...). You will need the
PKCS#12 passowrd.
bob's PKCS12 Password: certb@by
Connect to adam.acme.com, and import the Signing certificate from menu
bar.
7. Try the demos.
All relevant user login info is:
user: bob
password: sekret
pin code: 0918
As you go from top to bottom in the menu, there are increasing
authentication requirements, and increasingly strong credentials are
issued. When you get to milt.sec.acme.com, watch carefully, as you will
be redirected to stu.transacme.com for login. And, when stu issues
URL credentials you will be transparently redirected across domains to get
cookies for milt.sec.acme.com and noam.acme.org, before being redirected
back to the original milt request. Then you may hop to noam and stu
without further interruption.
