The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Dominique Launay <address@concealed>]

Hello everybody,

I am pleased to announce a module for Apache written in perl. It's 
called AuthSympa and it's an Apache 2 mod_perl module. The goal is to 
control acces to some  ressources using subscribers definition for a 
particular list hosted by some Sympa server. This contribution will be 
included in Sympa's project in a very future release but it can be used 
now under GPL licence.

Apache::AuthSympa run a a client side of a Sympa's soap server for :

 1. ask remote sympa server to validate email+password
 2. ask remote sympa server toknown if this email is registred as a
    list subscriber of a particular list;

The two parts of the module named Apache::AuthNSympa and 
Apache::AuthZSympa can be used separately for authentication and/or 
authorization

Here is a sample configuration :

<Directory "/var/www/somwehere">
 AuthName SympaAuth
 AuthType Basic
 PerlSetVar SympaSoapServer http://mysympa.server/soap # URL of the 
sympa soap server which provides the lists
 PerlSetVar SympaList mylist #list used for authorization
 PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenSympa # authentication module
 PerlAuthzHandler Apache::AuthzSympa #authorization module
 require valid-user
</Directory>
