How to configure Apache2+fcid for Basic Auth / REST API

Added by Jürgen Hörmann over 14 years ago

Hello,

I have Redmine 1.0.1 set up via Apache2 and mod_fcgid on a Debian 5 system.
Everything is working well but I cannot call the RESTful API. I always get an 401 Authorisation required response.

Do you know how to configure Apache to pass through the Authorisation headers to Redmine? I already tried some Rewrite rules from the net like:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L]

and the configuration option
PASSHEADER AUTHORIZATION

Until now I did not manage to get this working. I'd be grateful for some advice.

I found a solution for my problem.

You need a little different rewrite rule to get it working:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [E=X-HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L]

I changed it on Redmine's public/.htaccess file and authentication is working perfectly now. Is there any issue open for that?

Hi Bruno.

No I did not open a issue for this. Maybe you want to add a note for this somewhere in the documentation.
