Problem with authorized user and SVN access

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

 

I have an observation on the mod_authz_svn Module in combination with an authorized user.

 

I have a configuration with an Apache 2.4, mod_lua and Subversion modules 1.9.xx. This is my repo conf:

<Location /svn/repo>

    DAV svn

    SVNPath "/.../repo"

    LuaHookCheckUserID "/etc/apache2/lua/hook.lua" authcheck_hook

    AuthzSVNAccessFile "/.../repo.access"

    Require valid-user

</Location>

 

As you can see, the authorization is done by the Lua-script. As I understand it, this can be used a full replacement to, for example Basic Authentication. My simple hook.lua accepts every user and sets the user-field on the request-object (=the user is accepted):

 

require 'apache2'

function authcheck_hook(r)

   r.user = "myuser"

   r:debug("Accepted user " .. r.user)

   return apache2.OK

end

 

So In every case, the user gets authenticated which I can see in the log.

Next, I call the webserver with a simple curl-Command: "curl http://localhost:4402/svn/repo"

 

Case 1:

- The accessfile configures my user to have access on repo-root:

[repo:/]

myuser = rw

- The curl-Command shows me a repo-root but none of the files below.

- The error_log shows, that my user got authorized on root:

[Fri Jan 19 21:20:58.735108 2018] [authz_svn:info] [pid 3465:tid 140589093869312] [client ::1:59812] Access granted: 'myuser' GET (null)

- But I'm not allowed to see a file below:

[Fri Jan 19 21:20:58.735706 2018] [authz_svn:info] [pid 3465:tid 140589093869312] [client ::1:59812] Access denied: - GET repo:/muhmiau.txt

 

Case 2:

- The accessfile configures everybody to have access on repo-root:

[repo:/]

* = rw

- The curl-Command shows me a repo-root and the files below.

- The error-log tells, that my user is allowed to see the root and the file:

[Fri Jan 19 21:26:03.803831 2018] [authz_svn:info] [pid 3425:tid 140589085476608] [client ::1:59814] Access granted: 'myuser' GET (null)

[Fri Jan 19 21:26:03.806508 2018] [authz_svn:info] [pid 3425:tid 140589085476608] [client ::1:59814] Access granted: 'myuser' GET repo:/muhmiau.txt

 

Case 3:

- Now I have an accessfile, which allows everyone to rw, but not my user:

[repo:/]

* = rw

myuser =

- Curl shows me the full repo content

- The error_log tells, that my user is allowed to see the root and the file:

[Fri Jan 19 21:29:57.383442 2018] [authz_svn:info] [pid 3426:tid 140589085476608] [client ::1:59816] Access granted: 'myuser' GET (null)

[Fri Jan 19 21:29:57.385402 2018] [authz_svn:info] [pid 3426:tid 140589085476608] [client ::1:59816] Access granted: - GET repo:/muhmiau.txt

 

That raised several questions:

1. Why is my user not "known" for a special file in Case 1, when it generally works? (Case 2)

2. Why does the restriction of a right (Case 3) does not lead to a restricted view? As you can see in the log, the user is not known (like Case 1).

 

For me, especially Case 3 looks suspicious.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks and Kind Regards,

Stefan
