I'm using mod_auth_radius with Apache 2.2.2 to protect a directory. Here's the entries from the log file: [Thu May 11 15:32:43 2006] [debug] mod_auth_radius-2.0.c(1154): Radius Auth for: servername requests /path-to-protected-directory/ : file=/full-path-to-protected-directory/ [Thu May 11 15:32:43 2006] [debug] mod_auth_radius-2.0.c(1185): No cookie found. Trying RADIUS authentication.\n [Thu May 11 15:32:43 2006] [debug] mod_auth_radius-2.0.c(894): Sending packet on radius-server [Thu May 11 15:32:43 2006] [debug] mod_auth_radius-2.0.c(1223): RADIUS Authentication for user=my-user-name password=my-password OK. Cookie expiry in 60 minutes\n [Thu May 11 15:32:43 2006] [debug] mod_auth_radius-2.0.c(1225): Adding cookie bad0609dc93dcae84e4316263abb792a44639f6b\n [Thu May 11 15:32:43 2006] [crit] [client my-ip-address] configuration error: couldn't check access. No groups file?: /path-to-protected-directory/ Looking at the "[debug]" messages above, it looks like the radius authentication worked fine, and my username was authenticated, and it told apache to server the page. However, from the "[crit]" message, apache thinks that mod_auth_radius didn't work right. Other things on the server, protected with "regular" password files, work fine, and if you enter the wrong username and password on those, you get my custom error page for a 401 error. With the mod_auth_radius protected directory, it just returns a 500 (server error). From that, I assume that apache is NOT thinking mod_auth_radius said "no, the person is not authorized"; if it had done that, it would have returned the 401 page. Instead, it seems to be that when mod_auth_radius is finished, apache fails in some other way. A huge thanks, and maybe some beer*, if anyone can give me a clue to what's going on. Thanks! * The University probably won't let me buy anyone beer; but the huge thanks is guaranteed. --- Mike VanHorn Senior Computer Systems Administrator College of Engineering and Computer Science Wright State University 265 Russ Engineering Center 937-775-5157 michael.vanhorn@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.cs.wright.edu/~mvanhorn/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
