[ckan-dev] Apache HTTP authentication

Thu Dec 12 18:25:16 UTC 2013

Hello

There is a previous email thread on this. It says:

"
I think there is a simple way of fixing this.  The issue is than
mod_wsgi adds REMOTE_USER to the environ and our auth will take that
and try and match it to a user.

https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-geodatagov/blob/master/deployment/etc/ckan/apache.wsgi#L13

Taking lines 13,14,15,17 from the above and putting at the end of your
apache.wsgi file should stop this from happening.  When posting the
CKAN api you will need to use the  X-CKAN-API-Key header or specify
another header in the config file.
"

Thanks

David
