Re: Regarding Apache HTTP Authentication with an Oracle Database

[Steve Whitson <steven.whitson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rajaopal M.,

In order to use the mod_dbd.so, and mod_authn_dbd.so modules with mysql I had to build the mysql dbd driver provided in the arp-util (within Apache httpd-2.2.9).

To accomplish this I used the configure flag noted in apr-util:

./httpd-2.2.9/srclib/apr-util> configure --help | grep -i mysql
  --with-mysql=DIR        enable MySQL DBD driver

I passed this --with-mysql flag to the top level configure when configuring httpd-2.2.9.  Even though it doesn't undestand this flag, it passes it on to lower level configurations, such as when configuring apr-util.

I have no experience with Oracle, but here are the Oracle configure flags I found in the configure help in apr-util:

./httpd-2.2.9/srclib/apr-util> configure --help | grep -i ora
  --with-oracle-include=DIR
                          path to Oracle include files
  --with-oracle=DIR       enable Oracle DBD driver; giving ORACLE_HOME as DIR

Hope this helps,
   -Steve

Hi Steve,

 

I am RajaGopal Maddi. I have seen from one of the blogs in objectmix.com that you have used MySQL database for HTTP Authentication in Apache?

 

Is it resolved for you? Steve, what should I do for doing the same with Oracle Database? Where do we get the apr_dbd_oracle.so from?

 

Please throw some light on interaction with the Oracle Database.

 

Thanks
