mod_auth_location installation
mod_auth_location provides
easy-to-use capability for an Apache
web server to authenticate remote user's based on the
user's browser location (IP address), e.g. a library kiosk.
- Install the module
- Configure your system
- Get the
auth_location module tar file
- extract the file contents into a directory
- cd to the directory
- $ configure
- --with-apxs=path to your apxs (to build a dso module)
- --with-apache-src=path to your apache source (to build a static module)
(apache 1.3 only)
- $ make
- $ make install
-
Add the module's installer to your httpd.conf, e.g., for apache 2.0
- $ LoadModule auth_location_module modules/mod_auth_location.so
Configure your system
The module has directives that are strictly global. You can,
however, define both locations and applications in the global or
virtual server configuration to make them available to web pages.
