DESCRIPTION
This module allows authentication against a SecurID
server. It detects whether a user has a valid encrypted
cookie containing their username and last activity time
stamp. If the cookie is valid the module will change the
activity timestamp to the present time, encrypt and send
the cookie. If the cookie is not valid the module will
redirect to the authentication handler to prompt for
username and passcode.
LIST OF TOKENS
The Blowfish key used to encrypt and decrypt the authentication cookie. It defaults to my secret if this variable is not set.
The name of the of cookie to be set for the authentication token. It defaults to SecurID if this variable is not set.
The name of the of cookie that contains the value of the persons username in plain text. This is checked against the contents of the encrypted cookie to verify user. The cookie is set of other applications can identify authorized users. It defaults to SecurID_User if this variable is not set.
The path of the of cookie to be set for the authentication token. It defaults to / if this variable is not set.
The time in minute a cookie is valid for. It is not recommended to set below 5. It defaults to 30 if this variable is not set.
The path of authentication handler. This is the URL which request with invalid cookie are redirected to. The handler will prompt for username and passcode. It does the actual authentication and sets the initial cookie. This mechanism is used instead of get_basic_auth_pw because get_basic_auth_pw will do multiple authentication attempt on pages that contain frames. The ACE server will deny simultaneous authentication attempts since it considers this a type of attack. It defaults to /ace_init if this variable is not set. Please see Apache::AuthenSecurID::Auth to properly configure this functionality.
CONFIGURATION
The module should be loaded upon startup of the Apache
daemon. Add the following line to your httpd.conf:
PerlModule Apache::AuthenSecurID
PREREQUISITES
For AuthenSecurID you need to enable the appropriate call-
back hook when making mod_perl:
perl Makefile.PL PERL_AUTHEN=1
AuthenSecurID requires Crypt::Blowfish and Crypt::CBC.

Apache::AuthenSecurID::Auth - Authentication handler for
Apache::AuthenSecurID
SYNOPSIS
# Configuration in httpd.conf

PerlHandler Apache::AuthenSecurID::Auth
PerlSetVar AuthCryptKey Encryption_Key

</Location>
DESCRIPTION
This module allows authentication against a SecurID
server. A request is redirected to this handler if the
authentication cookie does not exist or is no longer
valid. The handler will prompt for username and passcode.
It will then construct and encrypt a UDP packet and send
it to the Ace request daemon. This is necessary since
libsdiclient.a needs to persist for NEXT TOKEN MODE and
SET PIN MODE. If the authentication is valid an encrypted
Authentication Cookie is set and the request is redirected
to the originating URI. If the user needs to enter NEXT
TOKEN or set their PIN they will be prompted to do so and
if valid the request is then redirected to the originating
URI.
LIST OF TOKENS
The Blowfish key used to encrypt and decrypt the authentication cookie. It defaults to my secret if this variable is not set.
The name of the of cookie to be set for the authentication token. It defaults to SecurID if this variable is not set.
The name of the of cookie that contains the value of the persons username in plain text. This is checked against the contents of the encrypted cookie to verify user. The cookie is set of other applications can identify authorized users. It defaults to SecurID_User if this variable is not set.
The path of the of cookie to be set for the authentication token. It defaults to / if this variable is not set.
The name of the mod_usertrack cookie. The mod_usertrack module must be compile and enabled in order to track user sessions. This is set by the CookieName directive in httpd.conf. It defaults to Apache if this variable is not set.
The name of the server running the ACE request daemon. This daemon is the actual process that communicates with the ACE Server. If the user is in NEXT TOKEN MODE due to repeated failures or SET PIN MODE the Authen::ACE object must persist beyond the initial request. A request packet is constructed with a random number, type of transaction, username, passcode and session identifier. The request packet is then encrypted using Blowfish and sent to the ACE request daemon. The ACE request daemon decrypts and parses the packet. The request if forwarded to the ACE server and the response is sent back to the handler. The random number originally sent is returned to prevent attacks. It defaults to localhost if this variable is not set.
The port the that the Ace request daemon listens on. It defaults to 1969 if this variable is not set.

The module should be loaded upon startup of the Apache
daemon. Add the following line to your httpd.conf:

For AuthenSecurID::Auth to properly track users
mod_usertrack must be compiled and enabled.

NAME
ace_initd - ACE Authentication daemon for
Apache::AuthenSecurID::Auth
SYNOPSIS
# Configuration in /etc/ace_initd.conf
VAR_ACE /the/ace/data/directory
port 1969
AuthCryptKey Encryption_Key
syslog local2
DESCRIPTION
This daemon handles the ACE authentication requests for
the Apache::SecurID::Auth module. It is a single
threaded, single fork server that listens on a specified
UDP port. Incoming requests are decrypted and requests
forwarded to the ACE server. If a specific request is in
either in NEXT TOKEN MODE or SET PIN MODE the Authen::ACE
object is not deleted. It is instead kept in memory to
handle those specific requests later.
LIST OF TOKENS
Specifies the location of the sdconf.rec file. It defaults to /opt/ace/data if this variable is not set.
The Blowfish key used to encrypt and decrypt the authentication cookie. It defaults to my secret if this variable is not set.
The port the that the Ace request daemon listens on. It defaults to 1969 if this variable is not set.
The syslog facility ace_initd logs to. It defaults to local2 if this variable is not set.
CONFIGURATION
Either run from the command line;
prompt$ nohup ./ace_initd &
or write the appropriate scripts in the /etc/rc
directories.
PREREQUISITES
ace_initd requires Crypt::Blowfish, Crypt::CBC and
Authen::ACE.
