    87== The `trac.wsgi` script
    98
    10 Trac can be run on top of mod_wsgi with the help of the following application script, which is just a Python file, though usually saved with a `.wsgi` extension).
     9Trac can be run on top of mod_wsgi with the help of an application script, which is a Python file saved with a `.wsgi` extension.
     10
     11A robust and generic version of this file can be created using the `trac-admin <env> deploy <dir>` command which automatically substitutes the required paths, see TracInstall#cgi-bin. The script should be sufficient for most installations and users not wanting more information can proceed to [#Mappingrequeststothescript configuring Apache].
     12
     13If you are using Trac with multiple projects, you can specify their common parent directory using the `TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR` in trac.wsgi (note that this directory should contain //only// Trac environments, no other sub-directories):
     14{{{#!python
     15def application(environ, start_request):
     16    # Add this to config when you have multiple projects
     17    environ.setdefault('trac.env_parent_dir', '/usr/share/trac/projects') 
     18    ..
     19}}}
    1120
    1221=== A very basic script
     22
    1323In its simplest form, the script could be:
    1424
    … …  
    2333}}}
    2434
    25 The `TRAC_ENV` variable should naturally be the directory for your Trac environment (if you have several Trac environments in a directory, you can also use `TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR` instead), while the `PYTHON_EGG_CACHE` should be a directory where Python can temporarily extract Python eggs.
     35The `TRAC_ENV` variable should naturally be the directory for your Trac environment, and the `PYTHON_EGG_CACHE` should be a directory where Python can temporarily extract Python eggs. If you have several Trac environments in a directory, you can also use `TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR` instead of `TRAC_ENV`.
     36
     37On Windows:
     38 - If run under the user's session, the Python Egg cache can be found in `%AppData%\Roaming`, for example:
     39{{{#!python
     40os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = r'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Python-Eggs'
     41}}}
     42 - If run under a Window service, you should create a directory for Python Egg cache:
     43{{{#!python
     44os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = r'C:\Trac-Python-Eggs'
     45}}}
    2646
    2747=== A more elaborate script
    2848
    29 If you're using multiple `.wsgi` files (for example one per Trac environment) you must ''not'' use `os.environ['TRAC_ENV']` to set the path to the Trac environment. Using this method may lead to Trac delivering the content of another Trac environment, as the variable may be filled with the path of a previously viewed Trac environment.

    3151To solve this problem, use the following `.wsgi` file instead:
    … …  
    4363For clarity, you should give this file a `.wsgi` extension. You should probably put the file in its own directory, since you will expose it to Apache.
    4464
    45 If you have installed Trac and eggs in a path different from the standard one you should add that path by adding the following code at the top of the wsgi script:

    4767{{{#!python
    … …  
    5272Change it according to the path you installed the Trac libs at.

    54 === Recommended `trac.wsgi` script
    55 
    56 A somewhat robust and generic version of this file can be created using the `trac-admin <env> deploy <dir>` command which automatically substitutes the required paths (see TracInstall#cgi-bin).

    58 
    5974== Mapping requests to the script
    6075
    61 After you've done preparing your .wsgi script, add the following to your Apache configuration file (`httpd.conf` for example).
    62 
    63 {{{
     76After preparing your .wsgi script, add the following to your Apache configuration file, typically `httpd.conf`:

    87 In order to let Apache run the script, access to the directory in which the script resides is opened up to all of Apache. Additionally, the `WSGIApplicationGroup` directive ensures that Trac is always run in the first Python interpreter created by mod_wsgi; this is necessary because the Subversion Python bindings, which are used by Trac, don't always work in other sub-interpreters and may cause requests to hang or cause Apache to crash as a result. After adding this configuration, restart Apache, and then it should work.
    88 
    89 To test the setup of Apache, mod_wsgi and Python itself (ie. without involving Trac and dependencies), this simple wsgi application can be used to make sure that requests gets served (use as only content in your `.wsgi` script):

    100128== Configuring Authentication
    101129
    102 We describe in the the following sections different methods for setting up authentication.
    103 
    104 See also [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html Authentication, Authorization and Access Control] in the Apache guide.
    105 
    106 === Using Basic Authentication ===
    107 
    108 The simplest way to enable authentication with Apache is to create a password file. Use the `htpasswd` program to create the password file:
    109 {{{
     130The following sections describe different methods for setting up authentication. See also [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/auth.html Authentication, Authorization and Access Control] in the Apache guide.
     131
     132=== Using Basic Authentication
     133
     134The simplest way to enable authentication with Apache is to create a password file. Use the `htpasswd` program as follows:
     135{{{#!sh
    110136$ htpasswd -c /somewhere/trac.htpasswd admin
    111137New password: <type password>
    … …  
    114140}}}
    115141
    116 After the first user, you dont need the "-c" option anymore:
    117 {{{
     142After the first user, you don't need the "-c" option anymore:
     143{{{#!sh
    118144$ htpasswd /somewhere/trac.htpasswd john
    119145New password: <type password>

    123149
    124   ''See the man page for `htpasswd` for full documentation.''
     150See the man page for `htpasswd` for full documentation.
    125151
    126152After you've created the users, you can set their permissions using TracPermissions.
    127153
    128 Now, you'll need to enable authentication against the password file in the Apache configuration:
    129 {{{
     154Now, you need to enable authentication against the password file in the Apache configuration:
     155{{{#!apache
    130156<Location "/trac/login">
    131157  AuthType Basic
    … …  
    136162}}}
    137163
    138 If you're hosting multiple projects you can use the same password file for all of them:

    141167  AuthType Basic
    … …  
    145171</LocationMatch>
    146172}}}
    147 Note that neither a file nor a directory named 'login' needs to exist.[[BR]]
    148 See also the [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_auth_basic.html mod_auth_basic] documentation.
    149 
    150 === Using Digest Authentication ===
    151 
    152 For better security, it is recommended that you either enable SSL or at least use the “digest” authentication scheme instead of “Basic”.
    153 
    154 You'll have to create your `.htpasswd` file with the `htdigest` command instead of `htpasswd`, as follows:
    155 {{{
    156 # htdigest -c /somewhere/trac.htpasswd trac admin
     173
     174Note that neither a file nor a directory named 'login' needs to exist. See also the [https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_auth_basic.html mod_auth_basic] documentation.
     175
     176=== Using Digest Authentication
     177
     178For better security, it is recommended that you either enable SSL or at least use the "digest" authentication scheme instead of "Basic".
     179
     180You have to create your `.htpasswd` file with the `htdigest` command instead of `htpasswd`, as follows:
     181{{{#!sh
     182$ htdigest -c /somewhere/trac.htpasswd trac admin
    157183}}}
    158184
    159185The "trac" parameter above is the "realm", and will have to be reused in the Apache configuration in the !AuthName directive:
    160186
    161 {{{
     187{{{#!apache
    162188<Location "/trac/login">

    168     Require valid-user
     189  AuthType Digest
     190  AuthName "trac"
     191  AuthDigestDomain /trac
     192  AuthUserFile /somewhere/trac.htpasswd
     193  Require valid-user
    169194</Location>
    170195}}}
    … …  
    172197For multiple environments, you can use the same `LocationMatch` as described with the previous method.
    173198
     199'''Note''': `Location` cannot be used inside .htaccess files, but must instead live within the main httpd.conf file. If you are on a shared server, you therefore will not be able to provide this level of granularity.
     200
    174201Don't forget to activate the mod_auth_digest. For example, on a Debian 4.0r1 (etch) system:
    175 {{{
    176     LoadModule auth_digest_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_auth_digest.so
    177 }}}
    178 
    179 
    180 See also the [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_auth_digest.html mod_auth_digest] documentation.
     202{{{#!apache
     203  LoadModule auth_digest_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_auth_digest.so
     204}}}
     205
     206See also the [https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_auth_basic.html mod_auth_digest] documentation.

    182208=== Using LDAP Authentication
    183209
    184 Configuration for [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ldap.html mod_ldap] authentication in Apache is a bit tricky (httpd 2.2.x and OpenLDAP: slapd 2.3.19)
    185 
    186 1. You need to load the following modules in Apache httpd.conf
    187 {{{
    188 LoadModule ldap_module modules/mod_ldap.so
    189 LoadModule authnz_ldap_module modules/mod_authnz_ldap.so
    190 }}}
    191 
    192 2. Your httpd.conf also needs to look something like:
    193 
    194 {{{
     210Configuration for [https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_ldap.html mod_ldap] authentication in Apache is more involved (httpd 2.2+ and OpenLDAP: slapd 2.3.19).
     211
     2121. You need to load the following modules in Apache httpd.conf:
     213{{{#!apache
     214  LoadModule ldap_module modules/mod_ldap.so
     215  LoadModule authnz_ldap_module modules/mod_authnz_ldap.so

    210 3. You can use the LDAP interface as a way to authenticate to a Microsoft Active Directory:
    211 
    212 
    213 Use the following as your LDAP URL:
    214 {{{
    215     AuthLDAPURL "ldap://directory.example.com:3268/DC=example,DC=com?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=user)"
    216 }}}
    217 
    218 You will also need to provide an account for Apache to use when checking
    219 credentials. As this password will be listed in plaintext in the
    220 config, you should be sure to use an account specifically for this task:
    221 {{{
    222     AuthLDAPBindDN ldap-auth-user@example.com
    223     AuthLDAPBindPassword "password"
    224 }}}

    245 Note 1: This is the case where the LDAP search will get around the multiple OUs, conecting to Global Catalog Server portion of AD (Notice the port is 3268, not the normal LDAP 389). The GCS is basically a "flattened" tree which allows searching for a user without knowing to which OU they belong.
    246 
    247 Note 2: You can also require the user be a member of a certain LDAP group, instead of
    248 just having a valid login:

    259272=== Using SSPI Authentication
    260273
    261 If you are using Apache on Windows, you can use mod_auth_sspi to provide
    262 single-sign-on. Download the module from the !SourceForge [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-auth-sspi/ mod-auth-sspi project] and then add the
    263 following to your !VirtualHost:
    264 {{{
    265     <Location /trac/login>
    266         AuthType SSPI
    267         AuthName "Trac Login"
    268         SSPIAuth On
    269         SSPIAuthoritative On
    270         SSPIDomain MyLocalDomain
    271         SSPIOfferBasic On
    272         SSPIOmitDomain Off

    274         Require valid-user
    275     </Location>
    276 }}}
    277 
    278 Using the above, usernames in Trac will be of the form `DOMAIN\username`, so
    279 you may have to re-add permissions and such. If you do not want the domain to
    280 be part of the username, set `SSPIOmitDomain On` instead.
     274If you are using Apache on Windows, you can use mod_auth_sspi to provide single-sign-on. Download the module from the !SourceForge [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-auth-sspi/ mod-auth-sspi project] and then add the following to your !VirtualHost:

    286 === Using Apache authentication with the Account Manager plugin's Login form ===
    287 
    288 To begin with, see the basic instructions for using the Account Manager plugin's [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#LoginModule Login module] and its [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AccountManagerPlugin/AuthStores#HttpAuthStore HttpAuthStore authentication module].
    289 
    290 '''Note:''' If is difficult to get !HttpAuthStore to work with WSGI when using any Account Manager version prior to acct_mgr-0.4. Upgrading is recommended.
    291 
    292 Here is an example (from the !HttpAuthStore link) using acct_mgr-0.4 for hosting a single project:
    293 {{{
    294 [components]
    295 ; be sure to enable the component
    296 acct_mgr.http.HttpAuthStore = enabled
    297 
    298 [account-manager]
    299 ; configure the plugin to use a page that is secured with http authentication
    300 authentication_url = /authFile
    301 password_store = HttpAuthStore
    302 }}}
    303 This will generally be matched with an Apache config like:
    304 {{{
    305 <Location /authFile>
    306    …HTTP authentication configuration…
    307    Require valid-user
    308 </Location>
    309 }}}
    310 Note that '''authFile''' need not exist. See the !HttpAuthStore link above for examples where multiple Trac projects are hosted on a server.
     295=== Using CA !SiteMinder Authentication
     296
     297Setup CA !SiteMinder to protect your Trac login URL, for example `/trac/login`. Also, make sure the policy is set to include the HTTP_REMOTE_USER variable. If your site allows it, you can set this in `LocalConfig.conf`:
     298{{{#!apache
     299RemoteUserVar="WHATEVER_IT_SHOULD_BE"
     300SetRemoteUser="YES"
     301}}}
     302
     303The specific variable is site-dependent. Ask your site administrator. If your site does not allow the use of `LocalConfig.conf` for security reasons, have your site administrator set the policy on the server to set REMOTE_USER.
     304
     305Also add a !LogOffUri parameter to the agent configuration, for example `/trac/logout`.
     306
     307Then modify the trac.wsgi script generated using `trac-admin <env> deploy <dir>` to add the following lines, which extract the `HTTP_REMOTE_USER` variable and set it to `REMOTE_USER`:
     308
     309{{{#!python
     310def application(environ, start_request):
     311    # Set authenticated username on CA SiteMinder to REMOTE_USER variable
     312    # strip() is used to remove any spaces on the end of the string
     313    if 'HTTP_SM_USER' in environ:
     314        environ['REMOTE_USER'] = environ['HTTP_REMOTE_USER'].strip()
     315    ...
     316}}}
     317
     318You do not need any Apache "Location" directives.

    312320=== Example: Apache/mod_wsgi with Basic Authentication, Trac being at the root of a virtual host
    313321
    314 Per the mod_wsgi documentation linked to above, here is an example Apache configuration that a) serves the Trac instance from a virtualhost subdomain and b) uses Apache basic authentication for Trac authentication.
    315 
    316 
    317 If you want your Trac to be served from e.g. !http://trac.my-proj.my-site.org, then from the folder e.g. `/home/trac-for-my-proj`, if you used the command `trac-admin the-env initenv` to create a folder `the-env`, and you used `trac-admin the-env deploy the-deploy` to create a folder `the-deploy`, then first:
     322Per the mod_wsgi documentation linked to above, here is an example Apache configuration that:
     323 - serves the Trac instance from a virtualhost subdomain
     324 - uses Apache basic authentication for Trac authentication.
     325

    318327
    319328Create the htpasswd file:
    320 {{{
     329{{{#!sh
    321330cd /home/trac-for-my-proj/the-env
    322331htpasswd -c htpasswd firstuser
    … …  
    324333htpasswd htpasswd seconduser
    325334}}}
    326 (keep the file above your document root for security reasons)
    327 
    328 Create this file e.g. (ubuntu) `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/trac.my-proj.my-site.org.conf` with the following contents:
    329 
    330 {{{
     335
     336Keep the file above your document root for security reasons.
     337
     338Create this file for example `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/trac.my-proj.my-site.org.conf` on Ubuntu with the following content:
     339
     340{{{#!apache
    331341<Directory /home/trac-for-my-proj/the-deploy/cgi-bin/trac.wsgi>
    332342  WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
    … …  
    349359}}}
    350360
    351 Note: for subdomains to work you would probably also need to alter `/etc/hosts` and add A-Records to your host's DNS.

    354363== Troubleshooting
    … …  
    356365=== Use a recent version
    357366
    358 Please use either version 1.6, 2.4 or later of `mod_wsgi`. Versions prior to 2.4 in the 2.X branch have problems with some Apache configurations that use WSGI file wrapper extension. This extension is used in Trac to serve up attachments and static media files such as style sheets. If you are affected by this problem attachments will appear to be empty and formatting of HTML pages will appear not to work due to style sheet files not loading properly. Another frequent symptom is that binary attachment downloads are truncated. See mod_wsgi tickets [http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/issues/detail?id=100 #100] and [http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/issues/detail?id=132 #132].
    359 
    360 ''Note: using mod_wsgi 2.5 and Python 2.6.1 gave an Internal Server Error on my system (Apache 2.2.11 and Trac 0.11.2.1). Upgrading to Python 2.6.2 (as suggested [http://www.mail-archive.com/modwsgi@googlegroups.com/msg01917.html here]) solved this for me[[BR]]-- Graham Shanks''
    361 
    362 If you plan to use `mod_wsgi` in embedded mode on Windows or with the MPM worker on Linux, then you'll even need version 0.3.4 or greater (see [trac:#10675] for details).
    363 
    364 === Getting Trac to work nicely with SSPI and 'Require Group' ===
    365 If like me you've set Trac up on Apache, Win32 and configured SSPI, but added a 'Require group' option to your apache configuration, then the SSPIOmitDomain option is probably not working.  If its not working your usernames in trac are probably looking like 'DOMAIN\user' rather than 'user'.
    366 
    367 This WSGI script 'fixes' things, hope it helps:

    382 === Trac with PostgreSQL ===
    383 
    384 When using the mod_wsgi adapter with multiple Trac instances and PostgreSQL (or MySQL?) as a database back-end, the server ''may'' create a lot of open database connections and thus PostgreSQL processes.
    385 
    386 A somewhat brutal workaround is to disabled connection pooling in Trac. This is done by setting `poolable = False` in `trac.db.postgres_backend` on the `PostgreSQLConnection` class.
    387 
    388 But it's not necessary to edit the source of Trac, the following lines in `trac.wsgi` will also work:

    402 Now Trac drops the connection after serving a page and the connection count on the database will be kept minimal.

     415=== Missing Headers and Footers
     416
     417If python optimizations are enabled, then headers and footers will not be rendered. An error will be raised in Trac 1.0.11 and later when optimizations are enabled.
     418
     419In your WSGI configuration file, the `WSGIPythonOptimize` setting must be set to `0` (`1` or `2` will not work):
     420
     421{{{#!apache
     422    WSGIPythonOptimize 0
     423}}}
     424
     425On Ubuntu, the WSGI mod configuration is at `/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/wsgi.conf`.
     426
     427The same issue is seen with `PythonOptimize On` in [TracModPython#Pagelayoutissues ModPython].
