Running redmine on Apache2 on Windows; using SSPI authentication; is it possible?

Added by Roger Lipscombe about 5 years ago

I'm currently using Trac to manage a small number of projects. I've got Trac running under Apache, using mod_python, on Windows 2003. I'm using mod_sspi to manage transparent authentication.

I've got a couple of questions:

1. Can someone point me at some documentation for running Redmine under Apache, rather than under WEBrick? Can I use mod_ruby, or should I use FCGI instead? I found a page on the Rails Wiki (http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/mod_ruby), that suggests that mod_ruby is a bad idea.
2. Can I get Redmine to use Apache's authn information, meaning that I can continue to use SSPI?

I'll continue to poke around, but if anyone's already done this, I'd appreciate some pointers.

Thanks in advance,
Roger.

I followed Thomas's guide using mod_auth_sspi.so v1.0.3 and Adam's HTTP Authentication plugin v.0.3.0 and it worked for me. By using the plugin, I did not need to modify the application.rb and this worked on Redmine v.1.0.4.

this is using a Bitnami Redmine install on a windows xp machine. we really wanted transparent authentication and this 'fix' was exactly what we were looking for.
