Use of Mod_Auth_Apple with Passthrough to Tracd

We are using SSL with OS X Lion Server, and running Trac through
tracd.

Has anyone successfully done this, passing the SSL authentication
through to Trac? I have looked at lots of info online but have not
found anything for this specific scenario.

Thanks!

Hmmm…

I am not sure tracd supports SSL… I suppose one could use stunnel to handle the SSL portion of the connection, and hand the decrypted session information to the local address on port 80, 8080…

Remote Browser SSL (443) > stunnel > localhost:8080 > tracd

I'll try it out and see if thats feasible. If not, sorry for the spam!

My apologies for two things… First, my reply went _above_ your post… making it difficult to track responses, and two, I didn't see your subject line first!
Stunnel is obviously not a solution.

But because your using Apache (Web Services) already, it may not be possible to tie both tracd and apache together. I hate the kind of people that ask the question 'why are you doing this' rather then give an answer, But I honestly (and humbly) have to ask why you are using tracd and apache simultaneously. :)

Still, I am trying to get Trac/WSGI, SSL and that Mod_Auth_Apple Authentication through Apache working on my test machine if your interested in those results… but I won't be using tacd. I honestly do not know how I would attempt Apache accepting the connection, but then passing that information to another locally running different web daemon.

Thanks!

Re: Use of Mod_Auth_Apple with Passthrough to Tracd [In reply to]

I had read a recommendation to configure Apache to be a reverse proxy to tracd, which is working fine for us. I had viewed it as a simple approach, but obviously it does not lend itself to also passing through authentication.

So, I will look into just using Apache. I am very interested in what the results of the work you described as:

Thanks!
