APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
SSLFakeBasicAuth depends on LoadModule order Loading the mod_ibm_ssl module at the top of httpd.conf, the SSLFakeBasicAuth is enabled. If it is loaded at another place, such as the bottom of httpd.conf, it is not enabled. IBM HTTP Server based on Apache HTTP Server 2.0 and later should not need to have any ordering dependency.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the "SSLFakeBasicAuth" directive * * in * * IBM HTTP Server. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SSLFakeBasicAuth seems to do nothing * * after configured, but works if you * * change the order of "LoadModule" * * directives in httpd.conf * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply this fix if SSLFakeBasicAuth * * directive is being used, is not taking * * effect and your certificate-bearing users * * are receving 401 prompts. * **************************************************************** SSLFakeBasicAuth is used to tie certificate-based authentication into HTTP Basic Authentication configured in Apache, but SSLFakeBasicAuth must run before the core of Apache authentication to be effective. The way SSLFakeBasicAuth used the Apache API, it was undefined as to which module would run first.
Problem conclusion
The feature was updated to always run before normal HTTP Basic Authentication processing. This fix is targeted for IHS fixpacks: - 7.0.0.27 - 8.0.0.6 - 8.5.0.2
