[users@httpd] Recomendation please..
Hi Guys
Does anyone know of an apache module Apache to provide an
interface to credit card payment authorization services such
as authorize.net.
Suggestions, recomendations and experiences from those that
have been there done that appreciated.

[users@httpd] SSL boot up
Posted by Doug Groves <gr...@valis.net>.
Somebody had posted a question about having Apache autobooting in
SSL (bypassing the key phrase input). No one answered, and since
I want to do the same thing, I thought I'd share this link on the
subject at apache.org ... and ask a quick question regarding it
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html
Basically, it says the following...
-------
Remove the encryption from the RSA private key (while preserving the
original file):
> $ cp server.key server.key.org
> $ openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key
Make sure the server.key file is now only readable by root:
> $ chmod 400 server.key
-------
Now, for my question. Is this a method many people use? I've
never had the need for SSL the last time I installed Apache (a
couple of years back). Has anyone heard of any security exploit
regarding this method?
The server I've set up includes SSL, although at the moment
none of the hosts on it require SSL for financial transactions
(just secure webmail access).
Just wanted to get the opinions of people who know more than I
do before I try it...
Thanks

[users@httpd] Perl library directory
Posted by Martin Moss <Ma...@btinternet.com>.
All,
Is there a way in http.conf for apache 1.3 to specify a directory where perl
modules used by mod perl are kept?
I'm currently creating symbolic links into the site_perl directory, but this
seems to be a 'hack' way of doing it,
Regards
Marty

Thanks Chris
Maybe I was not clear enough. I thank you for the links but
unfortunately neither of them are really what I am looking
for.
I have studied the guides. They provide the information one
needs to write an interface that will interact with
authorize.net's API. They do not provide a working script
that the job!!
I had also found the other link but because takes us to
authorize.net links to websites with proprietary solutions
but as we prefer to work source it is not much help.
What I am really looking for at the moment are actual
scripts/modules. In the long term if there is no alternative
I would not mind working with a few others people to build a
mod_authorize for apache but it would be good to get my QDS
if that is possible

How did you ask them? Less than a minute on their site I found these:
http://www.authorizenet.com/support/guides.php
http://www.authorizenet.com/alliances/carts.php

I've implimented scripts provided by CCbill, iBill, and PayPal. I
haddn't seen authorize.net until now. But just looking over their site
they seem very similar to the three I mentioned.

All these payment systems, have their own API, so the program that
interacts with it on your site has to know how to deal with their data
and respond correctly.

Look at the shopping cart page on authorize.net, there are already about
2 dozen carts that'll work with them.

Maybe a module would speed things up a bit, if you had a lot of
shoppers. But a cart or just a form for subscription type orders is all
you need. I don't think you have to deal with the Apache internals at
all. Perl or PHP should be able to do everything you need.

Thank you Chris - for your very quick reply...
Maybe I have missed them but I have not seen any scripts
from the authorizers and when I asked authorize net they
denied having resources.
Do you have any specific scripts/resources in mind? Do you
have experience with any of them? Are you able to make any
recomendations?
On the other perspective I wondered what you meant by
"better services" -- any specific recomendations/resources.
I took a quick look at cpan but could not find anything
(apart from modules that check card data for consistency).
We are about to start the process of putting an interface
together- and I have zero expeperience of this application.
If any one has the time some specific pointers and some
ecperience they would be willing to share - it would be much
appreciated.
I am surprised no-one has written a mod_authorize!!! May be
I should plan on that for the long term -- in the meantime I
need QDS (quick and dirty solution) right now and the more
sophisticated one will have to wait <chuckles>

Those places usually will provide you with a script of some sort to do
exactly what you need. Better services will provide multiple options,
in different languages, with different user account backends.
