Content 35: in this area will be served by type-dependent handlers, for example, one 36: handlers to serve homework problems, and another one for TeX resources. 37: The structure of this area of the server is exactly the same on every server, 38: even though not all resources might be present everywhere.</li> 39: </ul> 40: <ul type=disc> 41: <li>/raw/domainname/authorname/..: internally, this is just a 45: symbolic link to the res 46: directory, however, no content handlers are called when serving a resource 47: and access is controlled by IP rather than cookies. This structure is used 48: for replication of resources between servers.</li> 49: </ul> 50: <ul type=disc> 51: <li>/~authorname/.., /priv/authorname: the content construction space. This is normal UNIX filespace, 56: which however can only by viewed on the web by the authors themselves through 57: the cookie based authentication. Content handlers are active for this space. 58: This space can be mounted on other UNIX machines, as well as AppleShare 59: and Windows. Below the authorname, 60: this directory has the same structure as the resource space of the author.</li> 61: </ul> 62: <ul type=disc> 63: <li>/lon-status/..: LON-CAPA status 65: information � behind basic http authentication so it is not dependent on 66: system functions</li> 67: </ul> 68: Authors can only write-access the /~authorname/ space. They can copy resources into 72: the resource area through the publication step, and move them back through 73: a retrieve step. Authors do not have direct write-access to their resource 74: space. 75: <h3><a name="_Toc514840846"></a><a name="_Toc421867047">Apache Request Cycle 76: and Handlers</a></h3> 77: The standard mode in which the Apache web server is used is that a URL corresponds 78: to some static file on the file system, which then more or less gets sent 79: out as-is. Slight deviations from that simple principle are however already 80: the directory listing function, virtual servers, and the cgi-bin directory. 81: In the latter case, Apache executes the file in a new process and provides 82: both the input to the process in the environment, and routes the output to 83: the client. Other deviations are the error messages. 84: In a more general view, URLs to Apache are URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers), 85: which may are may not correspond to a physical file, which in turn may or 86: may not be sent out as-is. 87: As a request for a URI gets sent to the Apache server, it goes through several 88: phases. At each phase (�stage�) along the process, handler modules can be 89: defined to deal with the request. Details about these phases are given in 90: the Eagle book Chapter 3 (page 60). 91: These handler modules are not like cgi-scripts executed in a separate process, 92: but are dynamically linked into the Apache child processes themselves � they 93: run inside of Apache. The mod_perl mechanism in addition links the Perl interpreter 94: into the Apache child process. Modules are pre-interpreted (�compiled�) by 95: the Perl interpreter when they are first loaded, and the pre-interpreted code 96: stays permanently in the memory allocated to that Apache child process. The 97: result is a significant speed-up, and through the flexible mechanism of module 98: registration and different stages of the process, a high degree of customizability. 99: LON-CAPA does not use Apache::Registry, and so in addition avoids the unnecessary 100: overhead of emulating a cgi-environment within the handlers. Instead, it makes 101: direct use of the Apache Perl API (Chapter 9, Eagle book).  102: <h3><a name="_Toc514840847"></a><a name="_Toc421867048">Handler Definition</a></h3> 103: Which chain of handler deals with which kind of resource is defined in /etc/httdp/conf/loncapa_apache.conf. 104: LON-CAPA only defines handlers at the (in order) header-parser, access control, 105: and response phase (figure 3-3 Eagle book). In the header-parser phase, the 106: replication handler is run, and in the access-control phase, the various access-handlers. 107: Future handlers will mostly be implemented in the response phase. Fig. 108: 1.2.2 shows excerpts of the configuration 109: script /etc/httpd/loncapa_apache.conf 110: for these modules. 111: <div style='border:solid windowtext .5pt;padding:31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt'> 112: # ------------------------------------------------------------- 114: Access Handlers 115: <LocationMatch "^/res.*"> 117: PerlAccessHandler       119: Apache::lonacc 120: PerlHeaderParserHandler Apache::lonrep 122: ErrorDocument     124: 403 /adm/login 125: ErrorDocument     127: 404 /adm/notfound.html 128: ErrorDocument     130: 406 /adm/roles 131: ErrorDocument     133: 500 /adm/errorhandler 134: </LocationMatch> 136: <LocationMatch "^/priv.*"> 138: PerlAccessHandler Apache::loncacc 140: SetHandler        142: perl-script 143: PerlHandler       145: Apache::lonconstruct 146: ErrorDocument     148: 403 /adm/login 149: ErrorDocument     151: 404 /adm/notfound.html 152: ErrorDocument     154: 406 /adm/unauthorized.html 155: ErrorDocument     157: 500 /adm/errorhandler 158: </LocationMatch> 160: <LocationMatch "^/raw.*"> 162: PerlAccessHandler Apache::lonracc 164: </LocationMatch> 166: <LocationMatch "^/\~.*"> 168: PerlAccessHandler Apache::loncacc 170: ErrorDocument     172: 403 /adm/login 173: ErrorDocument     175: 404 /adm/notfound.html 176: ErrorDocument     178: 406 /adm/unauthorized.html 179: ErrorDocument     181: 500 /adm/errorhandler 182: AllowOverride None 184: </LocationMatch> 186: � 189: # --------------------------------------------- 191: Resource Space Content Handlers 192: <LocationMatch "^/res/.*/$"> 194: SetHandler perl-script 196: PerlHandler Apache::lonindexer 198: </LocationMatch> 200: <LocationMatch "^/res/.*\.tex$"> 202: SetHandler perl-script 204: PerlHandler Apache::lontex 206: </LocationMatch> 208: <LocationMatch "^/res/.*\.page$> 210: SetHandler perl-script 212: PerlHandler Apache::lonpage 214: </LocationMatch> 216: � 218: <LocationMatch "^/(res|\~).*\.(xml|html|htm|xhtml|xhtm)$"> 220: SetHandler perl-script 222: PerlHandler Apache::lonxml 224: </LocationMatch> 226: <LocationMatch "^/(res|\~).*\.(problem|exam|quiz|assess|survey|form)$"> 228: SetHandler perl-script 230: PerlHandler Apache::lonhomework 232: </LocationMatch> 234: # -------------------------------------------------------------- 236: Admin Programs 237: <Location /adm/roles> 239: PerlAccessHandler       241: Apache::lonacc 242: SetHandler perl-script 244: PerlHandler Apache::lonroles 246: ErrorDocument     248: 403 /adm/login 249: ErrorDocument     251: 500 /adm/errorhandler 252: </Location> 254: <Location /adm/login> 256: SetHandler perl-script 258: PerlHandler Apache::lonlogin 260: </Location> 262: � 264: <Location /adm/annotations> 266: PerlAccessHandler       268: Apache::lonacc 269: SetHandler perl-script 271: PerlHandler Apache::admannotations 273: ErrorDocument     275: 403 /adm/login 276: ErrorDocument     278: 500 /adm/errorhandler 279: </Location> 281: � etc � 283: </div> 284: Fig. 1.2.2 � Excerpts of loncapa_apache.conf 287: <h3><a name="_Toc514840849"></a><a name="_Toc421867049">Authentication Overview</a></h3> 288: A user can log into any server in the network and run sessions. The server 289: responsible for initially authenticating the user is the user�s homeserver. 290: When a user first accesses a server within a browser session, he or she is 291: challenged to provide authentication information in the form of username, 292: password and domain � this is done by lonlogin, which is the error_document 294: for lonacc and loncacc (the normal authentication handlers). 296: When the server receives that information, it asks all library servers in 297: the domain that the user specified to validate the information � this is done 298: by lonauth. 299: The user�s home server will answer with authorized or non_authorized, all others with unknown_user. If one server authorizes 303: the user, a cookie is returned to the user by lonauth 304: and the session is initialized on the local server by establishing the session 305: environment file. If a server sends non_authorized, the user is rejected.  Fig. 307: 1.3.1 illustrates this process. 309: </div> 310: 312: <div class=Section2> 313: <div class=Section3> 314: <div style='border:solid windowtext .5pt;padding:1.0pt 4.0pt 1.0pt 4.0pt'> 315: Domain 316: � 317: username, password � Library 318: Server 319: | � 320: unknown_user � 321: | 322: | � 323: username, password � Library 324: Server 325: | � 326: authorized � 327: | 328: User � 330: username,password,domain � 331: Server 332: � cookie � 335: store session information for valid 336: cookies 337: </div> 338: Fig. 1.3.1 � Illustration of Authentication Mechanism 340: At 341: all subsequent interactions, the client sends the cookie back to the server 342: � if the cookie is missing or invalid, the user is re-challenged for login 343: information. Handlers are lonacc and loncacc. Cookies expire by closing the browser and are invalidated 347: when the user logs out or logs in a second time into the same machine from 348: another browser. 349: <h3><a name="_Toc514840850"></a><a name="_Toc421867050">Authentication Mechanisms, 350: User Data, Passwords</a></h3> 351: On the library servers, it is a routine in lond that does the authentication. It 353: checks if this is the user�s homeserver, checks the password, and answers with �unknown_user�, 355: �authorized� or �non_authorized�. 356: 357: Determination if this is the user�s homeserver is done 358: by the presence of his or her password file in 359: /home/httpd/lonUsers/domain/1.char/2.char/3.char/username/passwd 363: for example 364: /home/httpd/lonUsers/msu/s/m/i/smith/passwd 365: The password is stored in the format mechanism:info, where mechanism can currently be unix, krb4 368: or internal. For krb4, the info is the Kerberos domain, for internal it is the crypt password itself. unix simply authenticates against /etc/passwd. 374: <h3><a name="_Toc514840851"></a><a name="_Toc421867051">Environment</a></h3> 375: The access handlers � coming early in the Apache request cycle � also set 376: up the session environment. The cookie received from the web client is a 377: pointer to the session profiles, which are stored in a directory for temporary 378: files (/home/httpd/lonIDs/). 379: 380: Standard Components 382:
