libapache2-webauth (4.5.3-3) unstable; urgency=low This package has been split into two packages, libapache2-mod-webauth and libapache2-mod-webauthldap, as part of the Apache 2.4 transition. This matches the standard naming scheme of Apache modules and allows better handling of dependencies for the LDAP module. Once the upgrade is complete, you may safely remove the libapache2-webauth package, and you can remove the libapache2-mod-webauthldap package if you weren't using the LDAP module. -- Russ Allbery Sun, 02 Jun 2013 10:30:41 -0700 libapache2-webauth (4.2.0-1) experimental; urgency=low Use of AuthType StanfordAuth (instead of AuthType WebAuth) is deprecated and will be removed in a subsequent release. This directive will produce a warning in the Apache error log whenever encountered while processing a request. This mode was for compatibility with the Stanford-internal WebAuth 2.5 release and was probably not used outside of Stanford. The special group handling in mod_webauthldap enabled by AuthType StanfordAuth is no longer supported and has been removed. Any access restrictions that used "require group" and expected the groups to be interpreted as WebAuth privilege groups must be changed to use AuthType WebAuth and "require privgroup". -- Russ Allbery Fri, 13 Jul 2012 13:43:13 -0700 libapache2-webauth (3.7.0-1) unstable; urgency=low Users of mod_webauthldap should note that WebAuthLdapAuthRule's behavior has changed. Previously, it put just the bare name of the privgroup authorizing the user into its environment variable. Now, it puts the string "privgroup " instead. -- Russ Allbery Wed, 07 Jul 2010 14:46:40 -0700 libapache2-webauth (3.5.3-2) unstable; urgency=low As of this release, the WebAuth module is built for Apache 2.2 rather than Apache 2.0. Please note that Apache 2.2 moved authentication and authorization functionality out of Apache into modules that may not be enabled by default. In particular, directives of the form: Require valid-user Require user will not work unless mod_authz_user is enabled. To do this, run: a2enmod authz_user as root. You do not need to enable this module if you never use directives of that type (if, for instance, you only use Require privgroup directives), but note that the WebAuth tests expect this functionality to be available. -- Russ Allbery Mon, 09 Oct 2006 14:28:00 -0700
