Precendence of auth entries in readers.conf for INN v2.3.4: msg#00088network.inn
My entries in reader.conf aren't behaving that way I thought they would so obviuously I'm confused about something. My intent is to set up a default in which everyone authenticates against an LDAP directory using an authprog that I put together. If the access is from a host on our local intranet, authentication is not necessary. *Unless* I'm the one doing the access in which case I want to be forced to authenticate so that I am made aware of when the authentication process is having problems. For some reason, the special constraint for me is not honored unless the "intranet" block is commented out. That is, accesses from my host go through unauthenticated under the "intranet" auth block even though I have a specific auth block set up for my host. What have I done wrong with setting up my auth blocks? Thanks, Bryan. Here is the auth section of my readers.conf file: # By default, everyone must authenticate auth "default" { hosts: "*" auth: ldap default-domain: "motorola.com" } # Unless they are accessing the server from a host on the Motorola # Intranet which means they must be a Motorolan. That is, we implicitly # trust that any host attached to the Intranet has already authenticated # the user. auth "intranet" { hosts: "*.mot.com, *.motlabs.com, *.motorola.com" res: ident default: "<motorolan>" default-domain: "motorola.com" } # Or it's me. I always authenticate so I can monitor this function. auth "me" { hosts: "artibeus.nsr.labs.mot.com" auth: ldap default-domain: "motorola.com" } # Or they are accessing from the local machine itself in which case this # is probably an admin trying to test something or resolve an issue. auth "localhost" { hosts: "localhost, 127.0.0.1, stdin" default: "<localhost>" } -- Bryan Thale Networks & Infrastructure Research, Motorola Labs mailto:bryan.thale@xxxxxxxxxxxx |
