Пункт 112. Apache Module mod_authz_dbd

Description:	Group Authorization and Login using SQL
Status:	Extension
Module Identifier:	authz_dbd_module
Source File:	mod_authz_dbd.c
Compatibility:	Available in Apache 2.4 and later

Summary

This module provides authorization capabilities so that authenticated users can be allowed or denied access to portions of the web site by group membership. Similar functionality is provided by mod_authz_groupfile and mod_authz_dbm , with the exception that this module queries a SQL database to determine whether a user is a member of a group.

This module can also provide database-backed user login/logout capabilities. These are likely to be of most value when used in conjunction with mod_authn_dbd .

This module relies on mod_dbd to specify the backend database driver and connection parameters, and manage the database connections.

The Require Directives

Apache's Require directives are used during the authorization phase to ensure that a user is allowed to access a resource. mod_authz_dbd extends the authorization types with dbd-group , dbd-login and dbd-logout .

Since v2.4.8, expressions are supported within the DBD require directives.

Require dbd-group

This directive specifies group membership that is required for the user to gain access.

Require dbd-group team
AuthzDBDQuery "SELECT group FROM authz WHERE user = %s"

Require dbd-login

This directive specifies a query to be run indicating the user has logged in.

Require dbd-login
AuthzDBDQuery "UPDATE authn SET login = 'true' WHERE user = %s"

Require dbd-logout

This directive specifies a query to be run indicating the user has logged out.

Require dbd-logout
AuthzDBDQuery "UPDATE authn SET login = 'false' WHERE user = %s"

Database Login

In addition to the standard authorization function of checking group membership, this module can also provide server-side user session management via database-backed login/logout capabilities. Specifically, it can update a user's session status in the database whenever the user visits designated URLs (subject of course to users supplying the necessary credentials).

This works by defining two special Require types: Require dbd-login and Require dbd-logout . For usage details, see the configuration example below.

Client Login integration

Some administrators may wish to implement client-side session management that works in concert with the server-side login/logout capabilities offered by this module, for example, by setting or unsetting an HTTP cookie or other such token when a user logs in or out.

To support such integration, mod_authz_dbd exports an optional hook that will be run whenever a user's status is updated in the database. Other session management modules can then use the hook to implement functions that start and end client-side sessions.

AuthzDBDLoginToReferer Directive

Description:	Determines whether to redirect the Client to the Referring page on successful login or logout if a `Referer` request header is present
Syntax:	`AuthzDBDLoginToReferer On\|Off`
Default:	`AuthzDBDLoginToReferer Off`
Context:	directory
Status:	Extension
Module:	mod_authz_dbd

In conjunction with Require dbd-login or Require dbd-logout , this provides the option to redirect the client back to the Referring page (the URL in the Referer HTTP request header, if present). When there is no Referer header, AuthzDBDLoginToReferer On will be ignored.

AuthzDBDQuery Directive

Description:	Specify the SQL Query for the required operation
Syntax:	`AuthzDBDQuery query`
Context:	directory
Status:	Extension
Module:	mod_authz_dbd

The AuthzDBDQuery specifies an SQL query to run. The purpose of the query depends on the Require directive in effect.

When used with a Require dbd-group directive, it specifies a query to look up groups for the current user. This is the standard functionality of other authorization modules such as mod_authz_groupfile and mod_authz_dbm . The first column value of each row returned by the query statement should be a string containing a group name. Zero, one, or more rows may be returned.
```
Require dbd-group
AuthzDBDQuery "SELECT group FROM groups WHERE user = %s"
```
When used with a Require dbd-login or Require dbd-logout directive, it will never deny access, but will instead execute a SQL statement designed to log the user in or out. The user must already be authenticated with mod_authn_dbd .
```
Require dbd-login
AuthzDBDQuery "UPDATE authn SET login = 'true' WHERE user = %s"
```

In all cases, the user's ID will be passed as a single string parameter when the SQL query is executed. It may be referenced within the query statement using a %s format specifier.

AuthzDBDRedirectQuery Directive

Description:	Specify a query to look up a login page for the user
Syntax:	`AuthzDBDRedirectQuery query`
Context:	directory
Status:	Extension
Module:	mod_authz_dbd

Specifies an optional SQL query to use after successful login (or logout) to redirect the user to a URL, which may be specific to the user. The user's ID will be passed as a single string parameter when the SQL query is executed. It may be referenced within the query statement using a %s format specifier.

AuthzDBDRedirectQuery "SELECT userpage FROM userpages WHERE user = %s"

The first column value of the first row returned by the query statement should be a string containing a URL to which to redirect the client. Subsequent rows will be ignored. If no rows are returned, the client will not be redirected.

Note that AuthzDBDLoginToReferer takes precedence if both are set.
