Using AuthName with mod_rewrite
Dear Friends,
I am new to Apache and mod_rewrite. I have a challenge to append the
AuthName to the URL.
I am using the following directive to protect the location / with a popup
and user data coming from an LDAP server.
<Location />
AuthzLDAPMethod ldap
AuthzLDAPServer 10.2.1.86
AuthzLDAPUserBase ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
AuthzLDAPUserKey uid
AuthzLDAPUserScope base
AuthType Basic
AuthName "GRRRR"
require valid-user
</Location>
My email id ravi.verma@telecommand.com is a valid userid in the ldap server.
Now I need to write a rule so that I could rewrite / to an URL which looks
as follows.
http://localhost/home.seam?userid=ravi.verma@telecommand.com as I used
ravi.verma@telecommand.com as the valid-user.
When I use
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^
RewriteRule ^/$ http://localhost/home.seam?userid=%{REMOTE_USER} [L]
All I get is
http://localhost/home.seam?userid=
I appreciate your help.

Kind regards.

Thank you Bob. Adding the following lines in the conf file made it work.
<Directory /var/www/html>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ http://localhost/bob/ravi.html?userid=%{REMOTE_USER} [R,L]
</Directory>
Regards.

That RegEx is always true (so you can skip the condition). To check
for at least one character present, use a '.', i.e.
%{REMOTE_USER} .
But anyway...

That is per-server context (which is a good idea to use) but auth and
access checks are done on a per-directory basis. That means, that the
ENV cannot be present in per-server context, i.e. before auth is being
processed. There are two possible solutions:
Use an URL-based subrequest in per-server context do determine the
value of that ENV:
RewriteRule ^/$ http://localhost/home.seam?userid=%{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} [R,L]
-or-
use the rule in per-directory context
<Directory /path/to/docroot>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ http://localhost/home.seam?userid=%{REMOTE_USER} [R,L]
</Directory>
