[users@httpd] nested htaccess files in conjuction with allow/deny

Hi,

I've been trying to do the following:

1) Consider a virtualhost which has a document root configured as follows:

        # Access Control
        <Directory /mnt/docs/PHP/test>
                # Deny access by default
                # Grant access to specific adresses thru a htaccess file
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride Limit
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from all
        </Directory>

        # Document Root
        DocumentRoot /mnt/docs/PHP/test


2) Access to specific addresses granted by /mnt/docs/PHP/test/.htaccess:

        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all

        # Grant access
        Allow from 1.2.3.4


This works like expected, i.e. access is granted to 1.2.3.4 only.


3) Now consider a subdirectory /mnt/docs/PHP/test/test2/. I've been trying 
   to _additionaly_ grant access to a second ip-address using a htaccess 
   file /mnt/docs/PHP/test/test2/.htaccess:

        # Grant additional access
        Allow from 4.3.2.1


At first sight this seemed to work like expected. The test2 subdir is
accessible by both 1.2.3.4 and 4.3.2.1. Closer inspection however reveals
the test2 subdir is not only accessible by the mentioned ip-addresses, but 
by anyone! This ofcourse is not the desired behaviour.

I've tried about a zillion variations of Order, Allow and Deny but cannot 
get the desired behaviour. Does anyone have experience in a likewise 
situation?


Note1: IP-addresses, paths etc. have been forged.

Note2: I do ofcourse now this can be solved by not trying to nest the 
       htaccess files and giving them each a seperate 'Deny from All' 
       line, but this is not the purpose, as in practice the first 
       htaccess is a symlink to a common htaccess containing a large 
       amount of ip-addresses. I do not want to make a copy of this file 
       as this increases administrative effort.

Ah, thanks. I could not find any information like this in the 1.3 section. 
I suppose 2.0 handles this similar to 1.3.

An example copied almost directly (A and B from the examples) from
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/sections.html#mergin:

<Directory /mnt/docs/PHP/test>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride Limit
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from 1.2.3.4
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName test.mydomain

        # Logs
        ErrorLog /mnt/logs/apache/test/error_log
        CustomLog /mnt/logs/apache/test/access_log vcombined

        # Access Control
        <Directory /mnt/docs/PHP/test>
                # Deny access by default
                # Grant access to specific adresses thru a htaccess file
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride Limit
                Order Allow,Deny
                Allow from 127.0.0.1
        </Directory>

        # Document Root
        DocumentRoot /mnt/docs/PHP/test
</VirtualHost>


So no htacces here, just two different Directory sections each allowing 
access to a different IP-address.

Now when trying to access this virtualhost from 1.2.3.4 access is denied. 
When trying to access it from 127.0.0.1 (using curl on the webserver 
itself) access is granted. So the sections are indeed processed in the 
order <Directory>, <VirtualHost><Directory> but it does not do additive 
logic. My guess is that use of any of the mod_access directives in a 
section resets all these directives to their defaults.

I had a look in the mod_access source code and looking at the module 
structure I noticed it has a NULL config merger:

module MODULE_VAR_EXPORT access_module =
{
    STANDARD_MODULE_STUFF,
    NULL,                       /* initializer */
    create_access_dir_config,   /* dir config creater */
    NULL,                       /* dir merger --- default is to override 
*/
    NULL,                       /* server config */
    NULL,                       /* merge server config */
    access_cmds,
    NULL,                       /* handlers */
    NULL,                       /* filename translation */
    NULL,                       /* check_user_id */
    NULL,                       /* check auth */
    check_dir_access,           /* check access */
    NULL,                       /* type_checker */
    NULL,                       /* fixups */
    NULL,                       /* logger */
    NULL,                       /* header parser */
    NULL,                       /* child_init */
    NULL,                       /* child_exit */
    NULL                        /* post read-request */
};


>From what I understand from http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/API.html, 
this means:

'To do that, the server invokes the module's per-directory config merge 
function, if one is present. That function takes three arguments: the two 
structures being merged, and a resource pool in which to allocate the 
result.'

'As a note --- if there is no per-directory merge function present, the 
server will just use the subdirectory's configuration info, and ignore the 
parent's. For some modules, that works just fine (e.g., for the includes 
module, whose per-directory configuration information consists solely of 
the state of the XBITHACK), and for those modules, you can just not 
declare one, and leave the corresponding structure slot in the module 
itself NULL.'


I think this proofs mod_access does not do any additive logic and thus you 
can only initialize it anew and override all settings from a lower level.

Start by reading the last paragraph of:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_access.html#order
and perhaps:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/sections.html#mergin

Since the .htaccess processing happens in a different phase, the Order 
directive in httpd.conf does not apply.  Placing an Allow directive in 
there probably resets order to its default "Deny,Allow" which resets the 
access state to Allow from all.

This is, perhaps, surprising behavior, but not entirely undecipherable.  I 
guess the trick is to ALWAYS explictly specify the Order directive 
wherever you use Allow/Deny.

Just assume that 1.2.3.4 is a valid internet IP-address, 127.0.0.1 was 
chosen because it is a valid address and definitely should not give access 
to any internet IP-addresses. It actually doesn't matter what i put after 
the 'Allow from' in the htaccess. As soon as I use an 'Allow from' 
directive in an htaccess the 'Order' directive seems to be reset to its 
default (Deny,Allow). Setting the 'Order' directive explicitely to 
'Allow,Deny' in the htaccess seems to reset the access list so any 'Allow' 
or 'Deny' directives from the virtualhost specifications are flushed.

It seems to me the mod_access logic is simply not additive. Any use of one
of it's directives on a higher level will override settings made on a
lower level. If this is how it's supposed to be, that's fine and it's
simply a limitation I have to live with, but I'm still not sure this is
the way it should behave. Can anyone confirm mod_access (Apache 1.3) not
being additive?


> What happens if you put the Allow directive in httpd.conf rather than

<Directory /mnt/docs/PHP/test>
	# Deny access by default
	# Grant access to specific adresses thru a htaccess file
	Options FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride Limit
	Order Allow,Deny
	Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

As expected access is denied:

test.mydomain 1.2.3.4 - - [22/Jun/2004:09:40:57 +0200] "GET / 
HTTP/1.1" 403 210 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; 
.NET CLR 1.1.4322)"

[Tue Jun 22 09:40:57 2004] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] client denied by 
server configuration: /mnt/docs/PHP/test


But when I place this htaccess:

Allow from 127.0.0.1


Access is granted again, being caused (I think) by an implicit flush of 
all mod_access parms.

Other than the fact that you obscured the most important part (the IP 
address), I don't see where the problem could be coming from.  What 
happens if you put the Allow directive in httpd.conf rather than the 
.htaccess?

Nope. RedHat 8.0 with Apache 1.3.31 plus PHP 4.3.7.

Log definitions:

\"%{User-Agent}i\"" vcombined
ErrorLog /mnt/logs/apache/test/error_log

You don't happen to be using mac osx with their http accellerator?  Show 
us the contents of the access and error log for a relevant request, along 
with the LogFormat in use from httpd.conf.

Narrowed this down to:

1) VirtualHost specification:

VirtualHost *>
        ServerName test.mydomain

        # Logs
        ErrorLog /mnt/logs/apache/test/error_log
        CustomLog /mnt/logs/apache/test/access_log vcombined

        # Access Control
        <Directory /mnt/docs/PHP/test>
                # Deny access by default
                # Grant access to specific adresses thru a htaccess file
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride Limit
                Order Allow,Deny
        </Directory>

        # Document Root
        DocumentRoot /mnt/docs/PHP/test
</VirtualHost>

GOOD: Access to this virtualhost is denied by default as expected as the
result of the 'Order Allow,Deny' directive inside the 'Directory'
specification for my document root:

Allow,Deny 
The Allow directives are evaluated before the Deny directives. Access is 
denied by default. Any client which does not match an Allow directive or 
does match a Deny directive will be denied access to the server. 


2) Single htaccess under /mnt/docs/PHP/test/.htaccess:

Allow from 127.0.0.1


BAD: Access to this virtualhost is granted to anybody...


So, no nesting of htaccess files, just trying to combine an 'Order' 
directive within a 'Directory' with an 'Allow' within an htaccess.

Define 'down'... You mean travelling from 'test' to 'test/test2'?

This being the exact purpose... Access to the test dir should be 
controlled by test/.htaccess and access to the test/test2 dir should be 
controlled by both test/.htaccess and test/test2/.htaccess. I would expect 
the Allow's and Deny's to be additive.

I tried restructuring it like this:

        # Access Control
        <Directory /mnt/docs/PHP/test>
                # Deny access by default
                # Grant access to specific adresses thru a htaccess file
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride Limit
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from all
        </Directory>
        <Directory /mnt/docs/PHP/test/test2>
                # Deny access by default
                # Grant access to specific adresses thru a htaccess file
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride Limit
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from all
                Allow from 4.3.2.1
        </Directory>

        # Document Root
        DocumentRoot /mnt/docs/PHP/test


With no htaccess files in place, access to test/ is granted to nobody, 
access to test/test2 is granted to 4.3.2.1. After placing a test/.htaccess 
like follows:

  Allow from 1.2.3.4

Access to test/ is (again) granted to anybody despite the 'Deny from All' 
in the 'Directory' section in my virtualhost spec!

By placing a test/.htaccess like follows:

  Order Allow,Deny
  Deny from All
  Allow from 1.2.3.4

This is fixed and access to test/ is granted to 1.2.3.4 only. However this 
defeats the purpose as now an implicit 'Deny from All' is done on 
test/test2 also...

I considered splitting them up in different virtualhosts but even this is 
not likely to work as it seems I cannot combine some 'Allow/Deny' 
statements within my virtualhost with my (centrally managed) htaccess 
file (see above).

So it really looks to me if I have no other choice than making a copy 
of my main htaccess file... Is this really true? :S

Posted by Michael <xe...@xshellr8.com>.
Generally, doesn't the .htaccess file dictate the behaviour down the
directory tree?  This is probably the root of the problem.  In other words,
the .htaccess is controlling all the directories from /test/ on down if
that's where it's located. At least that's my understanding of how the
.htaccess files work.  If you have indeed placed it /test/ and then add
another directory /test/test2 the .htaccess file located at /test/ is also
controlling the access to any directories underneath this location.  You can
probably structure it in a way (as you are requesting now) so that you can
work around this, but I've found that there always seems to be holes or
Apache just doesn't behave as you would expect.

You are much better off in this case, by creating a completely different
directory structure and allowing the access as you did in the first example.
It's much simpler to control in this manner and there are less issues with
holes being found such as the one you're trying to work around now.

My 2 cents,  

Michael

Subject: [users@httpd] nested htaccess files in conjuction with allow/deny

Hi,

I've been trying to do the following:

1) Consider a virtualhost which has a document root configured as follows:

        # Access Control
        <Directory /mnt/docs/PHP/test>
                # Deny access by default
                # Grant access to specific adresses thru a htaccess file
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride Limit
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from all
        </Directory>

        # Document Root
        DocumentRoot /mnt/docs/PHP/test


2) Access to specific addresses granted by /mnt/docs/PHP/test/.htaccess:

        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all

        # Grant access
        Allow from 1.2.3.4


This works like expected, i.e. access is granted to 1.2.3.4 only.


3) Now consider a subdirectory /mnt/docs/PHP/test/test2/. I've been trying 
   to _additionaly_ grant access to a second ip-address using a htaccess 
   file /mnt/docs/PHP/test/test2/.htaccess:

        # Grant additional access
        Allow from 4.3.2.1


At first sight this seemed to work like expected. The test2 subdir is
accessible by both 1.2.3.4 and 4.3.2.1. Closer inspection however reveals
the test2 subdir is not only accessible by the mentioned ip-addresses, but 
by anyone! This ofcourse is not the desired behaviour.

I've tried about a zillion variations of Order, Allow and Deny but cannot 
get the desired behaviour. Does anyone have experience in a likewise 
situation?


Note1: IP-addresses, paths etc. have been forged.

Note2: I do ofcourse now this can be solved by not trying to nest the 
       htaccess files and giving them each a seperate 'Deny from All' 
       line, but this is not the purpose, as in practice the first 
       htaccess is a symlink to a common htaccess containing a large 
       amount of ip-addresses. I do not want to make a copy of this file 
       as this increases administrative effort.
