NAME

dacs.install - DACS installation guide

DESCRIPTION

This document describes how to configure and install this release of DACS. Please read it carefully.
 
Important
 
 
•Installation requires the GNU make command ( gmake[1]) and GCC[2].
•The examples here and in other DACS documentation assume that DACS is installed in its default location, /usr/local/dacs. If you specify a different location at build time, please keep this in mind as you read the documentation. This also applies to third-party packages, which you may install where convenient, provided you are careful not to confuse or combine different versions of the same package; in this document's examples we install them under /usr/local and unpack their source code under /local/src.
•In some command line examples, long lines have been split to improve readability; copying and pasting may not work.
•Whenever you upgrade to a more recent version of DACS, please do not forget to install the mod_auth_dacs module that comes with your new version of DACS.
•Please pay careful attention to the descriptions of the third-party packages below. Our philosophy is that DACS should be used with the most recent stable versions of third-party packages available at the time DACS is released. This helps to ensure that a DACS deployment has the latest security features and bug fixes.
You should build third-party packages in the order in which they are discussed below because packages that are discussed earlier may require some that appear later.
For a few third-party packages, it is important that you use the exact version that is mentioned. Do not use anything newer or older.
For some third-party packages, a particular release is recommended. It is less critical that you use the recommended release, but older releases may have important bugs, including security problems. A release newer than the one(s) specified will not have been tested with DACS - and a release older than the one(s) specified may not have been tested with DACS - so if you choose to use such a release you are on your own.
You may save yourself time and headaches if you just use the recommended releases.
Sometimes the recommended version of a third-party package will be fine on some platforms but will not build or is buggy on another platform. Whenever possible, the DACS installation instructions suggest an alternative version, and you may proceed with that version, or a recent version of your choice - but keep the preceding comments regarding older releases in mind and ensure that a " gmake test" of DACS completes successfully.
•On Mac OS X you will probably need to install the Xcode[3] development environment.
•On some systems it will be necessary to use ldconfig(8)[4] (or equivalent) so that your system finds the correct shared libraries for programs that are executed by the web server, including the DACS web services.

Trying DACS

If at this time you only want to try DACS rather than doing a full install, review the information below regarding third-party packages and then proceed to follow the instructions you will find in dacs.quick(7)[5], which is a step-by-step tutorial for installing and configuring DACS.

Upgrading DACS

If DACS 1.4 is already installed on your system and you are not changing any third-party packages or installation options, for a "quick and dirty" upgrade you can often install a new release on top of a previous release. While this will leave your existing DACS configuration files alone, it will also leave files that are no longer needed by the new DACS. Be sure to check the new distribution's release notes and the rest of this manual page for any notable differences and incompatibilities - you may need to make some adjustments to your pre-existing installation.
It is possible for minor, incompatible changes introduced by a new release to cause temporary, user-visible problems. For example, changes to the format of credentials might invalidate sessions (i.e., DACS HTTP cookies) issued by the earlier release, requiring users to reauthenticate.
1.Make a backup copy of the previous install, just in case. It is especially important to make copies of all data files (such as DACS password files, other kinds of account files, encryption keys) and any custom configuration (such as access control rules).
2.Obtain and unpack the new distribution and chdir to it;
3.Review dacs.readme(7)[6] and the instructions in this document;
4.Copy src/config.nice from your installed version to the new src directory, make any updates and corrections that are necessary, and configure DACS:
% cd src; sh ./config.nice
5.Build DACS:
% gmake
6.We recommend that you remove some of the files from the previous release in case they are no longer required or have been renamed. Unless you have put non-standard files in them or made non-standard customizations, it is safe to simply delete these directories and their contents:
% rm -f -r /usr/local/dacs/{acls,bin,include,lib,man,www}
7.Stop httpd:
% apachectl stop
8.Install DACS:
% gmake install
9.Make and install the latest mod_auth_dacs module[7]:
% cd ../apache; gmake tag install
10.Restart httpd:
% apachectl start
or
% apachectl startssl
11.Check that DACS appears to be working correctly. You may find it handy to construct a set of links or bookmarks that you can use after installing or configuring DACS to invoke various DACS web services with appropriate arguments; for instance, try dacs_authenticate(8)[8] dacs_current_credentials(8)[9], dacs_prenv(8)[10], dacs_list_jurisdictions(8)[11], dacs_conf(8)[12], dacs_signout(8)[13], and dacs_version(8)[14]. Review the DACS log file for any error messages or warnings.

DACS on Windows

DACS is not currently supported on Microsoft Windows platforms. Cygwin[15], which provides a GNU/Linux-like environment for Windows, is not an officially-supported platform, but DACS releases usually build on it.
To run DACS utilities and commands on Windows (such as dacscheck), it appears to be sufficient to install the binaries along with the Cygwin run-time libraries that they require, such as /bin/cygwin1.dll and /bin/cygcrypt-0.dll.

Installing DACS

The following describes how to install DACS.
 
Important
 
 
•If another release of DACS is present, rename your previous release, install the new release, and then copy any site-specific configuration files from the previous release to the new release.
•Be careful not to mix DACS binaries and support files from different releases; this can lead to strange behaviour that is often hard to resolve.
•If you are installing or upgrading a third-party package, make sure that you are building it against the correct include files and libraries (e.g., that the DACS build is not finding an old version, or using include files from one version and library files from a different version, or that httpd is trying to use the wrong version of an OpenSSL library). This is frequently the cause of build and run-time problems.
1.Unpack the DACS distribution and move to its root directory.
2.Familiarize yourself with the system by:
•reading this document;
•running:
% src/configure --help
•browsing through the documentation (best done by loading man/index.html[16] into your browser);
•deciding where you want the various components to be installed; and
•considering which optional features you may want (you can easily make changes at any time, so do not be too concerned about this).
3.A few third-party packages are required by DACS and must be built before DACS can be configured and built. Please note carefully if any special exceptions apply to your particular platform and third-party package needs. Although you may have better luck, sometimes we experienced problems building the recommended packages (or combinations of packages) on certain platforms; whenever possible, we try to provide a workable alternative. Late-breaking updates are sometimes available in the release's Post-Release Notes[17].
 
Important
 
 
It is not necessary to actually install these packages, you only have to build them so that the DACS build can use their libraries, include files, and so on, directly from where you build the packages. You may chose to do this if you do not want to upgrade an existing version of the package, or if you are unable to do so.
Build these packages in the order in which they are listed below.
If you install a package, you may need to be root or use sudo(8)[18] (e.g., " sudo make install").
These packages are not distributed with DACS and have licensing terms completely separate from those of DACS that are your responsibility.
Third-Party Package Index:
Expat: XML parser
OpenSSL: Crytographic toolkit
Apache: Web server
•Berkeley DB, gdbm, ndbm: dbm-type database libraries
SQLite: SQL database engine
Samba: Microsoft Windows interoperability suite
•libxml2, xmlsec1: XML toolkit and security libraries
OpenLDAP: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol software
•Readline: Command line history and editing
1.Install the Expat XML parser
This release of DACS has been tested with Expat[19]2.1.0 and we recommend that you use that release.
For use with DACS, Expat can either be built with -prefix=/usr/local or something like -prefix=/usr/local/expat-2.1.0, whichever you prefer. In the former case, you can omit the --with-expat when configuring DACS or use --with-expat=/usr/local, and in the latter case you must use --with-expat=/usr/local/expat-2.1.0. Here is how we usually build Expat after unpacking it:
% cd expat-2.1.0
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/expat-2.1.0
% make
(All should go well.)
% make install
(All should go well here, too.)
 
Note
 
 
On Win2K/Cygwin, only a static library is needed. From the root of the expat distribution directory:
% cd lib; ar rv libexpat.a *.o; ranlib libexpat.a
If the build fails, reconfigure using --enable-shared=no and --enable-static=yes and try to build it again.
2.Install OpenSSL
DACS uses cryptographic functionality provided by OpenSSL[20]. This release of DACS has been tested with openssl-1.0.1e and we recommend that you use that release with DACS. Apache should be built using the version of OpenSSL recommended by the particular Apache release - using a more recent version of OpenSSL may introduce build problems or run-time bugs in Apache. It is not necessary for Apache and DACS to use the same release of OpenSSL.
 
Notes
 
 
•Releases of Apache prior to 2.0.55 do not work (as shipped) with OpenSSL0.9.8 or newer.
DACS will probably work with openssl-1.0.0x, although those versions are no longer officially supported. DACS will not work with openssl-0.9.8[mno] (" gmake test" fails); openssl-0.9.8l is the last of the pre-openssl-1.0.0x releases at one time known to work correctly with DACS.
•If you need InfoCard support and you have upgraded to openssl-1.0.0 or newer, it may be necessary to rebuild xmlsec1[21] against the new library (if you need to rebuild, " gmake test" will fail).
•When building openssl-0.9.8j on FreeBSD7.0, problems were encountered that caused " make install" to fail; corrections to Makefiles under the fips subdirectory solved the problem.
•On OpenSolaris, more serious problems building openssl-0.9.8j and openssl-0.9.8k were found and neither could be successfully completed; with the same options and environment, openssl-0.9.8i and openssl-0.9.8l built without incident, however, and the latter was used for testing on that platform. There were also problems forcing the runtime linker to use OpenSSL libraries other than the default system versions, despite the guidance of the relevant manual pages; it was necessary to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately (use dacsversion -v to verify that the expected libraries are being used at runtime). Note that OpenSolaris is no longer a supported platform.
•If you are enabling DACS support for Java, add the -fPIC flag to config when you are building OpenSSL.
•In some configurations you may want or require shared OpenSSL libraries; if so, add the shared command line flag to config when building OpenSSL.
•Solaris 8 (and perhaps other platforms) may require a patch[22] before OpenSSL will work properly. Please consult the latest OpenSSL documentation.
•For Solaris 10 x86, review OpenSSL'sPROBLEMS file to see if you must apply a patch before OpenSSL will compile correctly with GCC.
•Here is how we built OpenSSL:
% ./config --prefix=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e -fPIC shared
•On Mac OS X, however, it was necessary to explicitly request a 64-bit build of OpenSSL:
% ./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc --prefix=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e -fPIC shared
3.Install Apache2.4.3 or 2.2.23
You will need an SSL-capable Apache[23] server (build Apache with --enable-ssl) that uses a recent version of OpenSSL (build Apache using --with-ssl=path, see above[24]).
 
Tip
 
 
You can install a subset of DACS that does not require Apache and does not require anyDACS configuration. These stand-alone, general-purpose utility commands, such as dacshttp and sslclient, might be of interest to you even if you are not interested in any other parts of DACS. Look for BASIC_PROGS in Makefile.in to see which commands will be installed.
To build this subset, use --with-apache=omit when running configure. Please continue to review the information about third-party packages in this document, but you can ignore anything that follows that is related to Apache and mod_auth_dacs.
If you want to use mod_auth_dacs[7] as a dynamic module, which is the recommended configuration, make sure that mod_so is built-in to your httpd ("httpd -l" displays a list).
 
Important
 
 
•This release of DACS has been tested with both Apache2.2.23 and Apache2.4.3. We strongly recommend that you use either of those versions. If necessary, DACS will probably also work with 2.0.51 and newer, or 2.2.2 and newer, but not with releases older than that.
•If suitable APR, APR-UTIL, and other support libraries have already been installed on your system, you may be able to perform a basic build and install of Apache2.4 with a command like:
% cd httpd-2.4.3
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2-2.4.3 --enable-ssl \
      --with-ssl=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e
% make install
Detailed instructions for building Apache2.4.3 can be found in Apache's INSTALL file. For the testing platforms, we get the APR and APR-UTIL libraries from apr.apache.org[25] and unpack them in the Apache distribution's srclib directory, then rename them srclib/apr and srclib/apr-util, respectively, as it says in INSTALL. We currently use apr-1.4.6 and apr-util-1.5.1. When building httpd, run configure with the --with-included-apr flag.
On CentOS5.9, the Apache build initially failed with a complaint about not finding pcre-config. To solve this, we did:
yum install pcre-devel.x86_64
When configuring for the DACS build it was not necessary to use the --with-apache-apr flag.
•When building Apache2.2, running configure as shown above will work in some cases (distributions of the 2.2 branch include the APR and APR-UTIL libraries). Nevertheless, we usually first build and install APR (srclib/apr) and APR-UTIL (srclib/apr-util), and then build httpd using the --with-apr and --with-apr-util flags. This may be helpful to know if you run into problems. Also, if you encounter problems building dacsversion, it may be necessary for you to go back and build APR with the --disable-lfs flag to disable large file support on your platform. When you build DACS in an upcoming step, you will probably need to use the --with-apache and --with-apache-apr flags (see Third-party support options[26]). If you are going to use the --with-berkeley-db flag when building APR-UTIL (e.g., --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1), you may want to temporarily skip ahead to build Berkeley DB[27] before returning here to continue your Apache build. (Note: it appears that apr-util2.2.23 will not work with versions of Berkeley DB newer than 5.1; refer to documentation for its --with-dbm flag).
•Here is how we built Apache2.2 after unpacking it:
% cd httpd-2.2.23
% cd srclib/apr
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2-2.2.23/apr-httpd --disable-lfs CFLAGS=-fPIC
% make install
% cd ../apr-util
# See notes below for adding LDFLAGS
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2-2.2.23/apr-util-httpd
       --with-apr=/usr/local/apache2-2.2.23/apr-httpd
       --with-expat=/usr/local/expat-2.0.1
       --with-dbm=db51
% make install
% cd ../..
# See notes below for adding LDFLAGS
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2-2.2.23 --enable-ssl
       --with-ssl=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e
       --with-apr=/usr/local/apache2-2.2.23/apr-httpd
       --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apache2-2.2.23/apr-util-httpd
       LDFLAGS="-rpath /usr/local/db-5.1.29/lib -rpath /usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e/lib"
% make install
This builds a very basic server; you can enable other options if you want.
Because we deal with multiple versions of third-party packages, each release is installed separately, hence the version numbers in the pathnames.
Your mileage may vary, but when doing the top level Apache configuration above on FreeBSD it was necessary to add "-rpath /usr/local/db-5.1.29/lib -rpath /usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e/lib" to LDFLAGS so that Apache commands could find shared libraries at run time.
On Linux, it was necessary to add "-Wl,-rpath /usr/local/db-5.1.29/lib -Wl,-rpath /usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e/lib" to LDFLAGS when building apr-util and at the top level.
Alternatively, on either platform the ldconfig command or LD_LIBRARY_PATH might be used.
It appears that the LDFLAGS above should be omitted on Mac OS X.
•In some configurations an "undefined ssl_hook_Fixup symbol" error or "Cannot load modules/mod_ssl.so into server" error is produced by httpd when it starts up. This was also seen in earlier releases of Apache. These errors can be due to an apparent bug in the Apache build procedure that results in the mod_ssl module not knowing where libssl.so and libcrypto.so are, even though the correct path was specified at Apache build time through the --with-ssl flag to configure.
One solution is to make mod_ssl a built-in module instead of a dynamically loaded module. Build Apache using something similar to this (using the --enable-ssl=static flag is the important change):
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2-2.4.3 --with-ssl=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e --enable-ssl=static
Then do a " make install". Note that you will need to comment out the httpd.conf directive that loads mod_ssl:
# LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
Now, from the Apache installation directory, try:
% bin/httpd -l
If httpd cannot find your OpenSSL libraries, you will see an error message like this:
error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Tell the linker where the OpenSSL libraries are by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable for httpd; for example:
%  sh -c "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e/lib; bin/httpd -M"
You may also be able to resolve the problem using the ldconfig command, but we don't know if that could possibly break other programs that expect a different version of the OpenSSL library. You will need to always set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running httpd, maybe using an alias or script. If you use apachectl to manage Apache, you could simply have it set LD_LIBRARY_PATH (also see the Apacheenvvars script, which is sourced by apachectl).
•One difference to be aware of between the Apache2.0 branch and subsequent branches is that the default Apache configuration of the newer branches may deny all access by default; some DACS files should be publicly accessible, however, so you may need to explicitly allow this. For example, in httpd.conf:
<Directory /usr/local/dacs/www>
  Satisfy Any
  Allow from all
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
Apache1.3 is not supported; please consult the FAQ[28]. DACS has not been tested with Apache2.3 or 2.4.
•We do not support using mod_auth_dacs with a non-source install of Apache; we have received feedback that it can be done manually without much effort, however. In this case, we believe that the install may go more smoothly if you use the configure flag --disable-shared.
 
Tip
 
 
Check that Apache is working properly and that it is actually using the version of OpenSSL that you are expecting. It is important to confirm that your server is working correctly with your web resources beforeDACS gets involved - doing so can save you time and frustration.
You can see your httpd'sServer response-header by connecting to your server (e.g., using telnet) and engaging in an interaction with it similar to the following (note the last line of output):
% telnet localhost 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 21:27:17 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.23 (Unix) mod_auth_dacs/1.4.27(Release date 17-Oct-2012 00:00:01) mod_ssl/2.2.23 OpenSSL/1.0.1c
4.A few third-party packages are optional and whether you need them depends on which optional features of DACS you require. These packages must be built before DACS can be configured and built. If you decide you want to add or remove optional capabilities after building DACS, it is easy to do so later.
 
Tip
 
 
If you are new to DACS, it may be a good idea to first build it without any optional packages. After you have gotten the basic system working to your satisfaction, rebuild DACS with the optional components you need. Or, if you are not sure at this time which optional packages you need, return to this step later.
1.Berkeley DB, gdbm, ndbm DB (dbm-type databases)
If you want to be able to store DACS configuration information in a database or need to access files managed by Apache'smod_auth_dbm, you may use Berkeley DB[29] from Oracle Corporation[30] (Sleepy Cat Software was acquired by Oracle in February, 2006). A suitable version may already be installed on your system. Version db-5.3.21 is being used for testing, but somewhat older or newer versions should be fine. See the DACS configure arguments: --enable-bdb[31], --disable-bdb[32], and --with-bdb[33].
 
Tip
 
 
You may find that you must sign on to the Oracle site before it allows you to download Berkeley DB. You may be able to avoid this by using a URL such as http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-5.3.21.tar.gz, or you may be able to obtain BDB elsewhere (such as at linux.softpedia.com, pkgs.fedoraproject.org, or fossies.org). Consider validating the downloaded file using a checksum published on a different site, however.
The default is to use Berkeley DB if it is available, but if you do not want to use Berkeley DB you can disable it ( --disable-bdb[32]) and get similar functionality from the NDBM library, or from GNU GDBM (version 1.8.3, 1.9.1, or 1.10) in its NDBM compatibility mode. These libraries may already be installed on your system. Get GDBM from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdbm[34]. See the --enable-ndbm[35] and --enable-gdbm[36] configure flags.
 
Notes
 
 
•It may be necessary to create (or update) links to the Berkeley DB installation directory to avoid problems when building other packages. For example, if you install it in /usr/local/bdb-5.3.21:
% ln -sf /usr/local/bdb-5.3.21 /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.3
% ln -sf /usr/local/bdb-5.3.21 /usr/local/db53
•Here is how we built Berkeley DB for DACS after unpacking it:
% cd build_unix
% ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr/local/bdb-5.3.21
% make
(All should go well.)
% make install
(All should go well here, too.)
•You cannot use both --enable-ndbmand --enable-gdbm, but you can use either one along with --enable-bdb.
•GNU GDBM1.9.1 and newer may not interoperate correctly with databases created by older versions of GNU GDBM; consult its source code and documentation for details.
•A deficiency in configuration processing is that the locations of the GNU GDBM and NDBM libraries cannot be specified; the standard configuration search path is used. A future version should provide --with-gdbm and --with-ndbm flags.
•The NDBM-workalike, sdbm[37], is not currently supported. It may be added to a future release, however, particularly if it is requested.
2.SQLite
The SQLite[38] database, which can be used together with the dbm-type databases[27], is another option for storing DACS configuration information. Version 3.7.14.1 is being used for testing (we use the "autoconf" tarball). See the DACS configure arguments: --enable-sqlite[39], --disable-sqlite[40], and --with-sqlite[41].
 
Notes
 
 
•Here is how we built SQlite:
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/sqlite-3.7.14.1
3.Samba
If you want to be able to authenticate against Microsoft NTLM (see local_ntlm_authenticate[42]), you must obtain Samba[43]. This release of DACS has been tested with samba-3.6.12, and we strongly recommend that you use that version. It is not known whether this release of DACS will work with any other version of Samba - we do not officially support them.
DACS NTLM authentication has been tested against Windows Server 2012.
 
Note
 
 
DACS requires the Samba source distribution to be built but it does not matter if Samba is installed. The DACS build procedure looks for include files and libraries relative to the Samba distribution's root directory.
To build Samba for DACS, from your Samba distribution's ./source3 directory do:
% ./configure --enable-static=yes --with-ads=no --with-ldap=no --disable-swat --disable-cups --disable-pie \
    --enable-external-libtalloc=no --enable-external-libtdb=no
% make
Then, when configuring DACS, specify the directory where Samba was unpacked, for example:
--with-samba=/local/src/samba-3.6.12
See the DACS configure arguments: --enable-ntlm-auth[44] and --with-samba[45].
4.libxml2 and xmlsec1
If you need InfoCard support (see local_infocard_authenticate[46]), libxml2[47] and xmlsec1[21] are required. Build libxml2 and OpenSSL first, because xmlsec1[21] depends on both of them. This release of DACS has been tested with libxml2-2.9.0 and xmlsec1-1.2.18, and we strongly recommend that you use those versions. It is not known whether this release of DACS will work with any other versions - we do not officially support them.
 
Notes
 
 
•Here is how we built libxml2:
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/libxml2-2.9.0
Due to an apparent bug in the code (in threads.c) that results in a syntax error, it was necessary to add --with-threads=no on some platforms, such as Mac OS X.
•Here is how we built xmlsec1:
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/xmlsec1-1.2.18
    --with-libxml=/usr/local/libxml2-2.9.0
    --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e --with-gnu-ld
    --enable-static-linking  --disable-crypto-dl --disable-apps-crypto-dl 
Except on Mac OS X:
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/xmlsec1-1.2.18 \
      --with-libxml=/usr/local/libxml2-2.9.0 --with-gnu-ld --enable-static=yes \
      --enable-shared=yes --with-nss=/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS \
      --with-nspr=/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS \
      --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.1e \
      --disable-crypto-dl
•Due to an apparent error in its build procedure, we sometimes encountered the following error message:
*** Warning: Linking the shared library libxmlsec1-openssl.la against the
*** static library /local/openssl-1.0.1e/lib/libcrypto.a is not portable!
After ensuring that libcrypto.so (or libcrypto.dylib) had been installed when building OpenSSL, to correct the xmlsec1 build problem we did " make clean", re-ran configure as above, and edited src/openssl/Makefile under the root of the xmlsec1 distribution directory to change all occurrences of "libcrypto.a" to "libcrypto.so". It was sometimes also necessary to delete the -ldl flag on those same lines, and in other Makefile files in the distribution (and making sure the flag was not specified by xmlsec1-config). After those changes, we ran make again. Additionally, it was sometimes necessary to specify CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib".
•Another problem related to this library on a CentOS platform resulted in an error message similar to this:
Cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
The solution was to issue the command (adjust the path as necessary):
% chcon -t texrel_shlib_t /usr/local/xmlsec1-1.2.18/lib/libxmlsec1-openssl.so
•When including InfoCard support on Mac OS X, it was necessary to tell the dynamic linker where to find the xmlsec1 library (despite using the -rpath flag during the build). To work around this, do something like the following (or equivalent):
% setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/xmlsec1-1.2.18/lib
Ensure that " gmake test" does not fail.
•Due to an apparent bug in configure.in, on FreeBSD configure may incorrectly use the -ldl flag in generated Makefiles. Either edit all Makefiles to remove all occurrences of the -ldl flag, or edit configure.in, add a "*-*-freebsd*" case like the others in the "OpenSSL" section, run autoconf to regenerate configure, and then "make clean" and re-run configure.
•Your experience may differ, but we found xmlsec1 to not cooperate when we wanted to work with multiple installations of libxml2 - apparently if a libxml2 directory or link has been installed, its build procedure seems to use that version, regardless of what is specified on the command line, requiring manual editing of its Makefiles. Check that the correct instance of xml2-config is being used.
The DACS build procedure uses xmlsec1-config, a program that comes with xmlsec1. If InfoCard support is enabled, the build procedure will look in some standard places for this command. You can specify its location with the --with-xmlsec1-config[48] flag.
See the DACS configure arguments: --enable-infocard-auth[49] and --with-xmlsec1-config[48]
5.OpenLDAP
Authentication through LDAP or Microsoft Active Directory (see local_ldap_authenticate[50]) is implemented using OpenLDAP[51]. This release of DACS has been tested only with openldap-2.4.33 and we strongly recommend that you use that version.
It is not known whether this release of DACS will work with any other version of OpenLDAP - we do not support them. DACS may work properly with OpenLDAP versions at least as old as 2.2.24, if you really must use one of them.
DACS has been tested against Windows 2000 Server SP4.
If the --with-ldap flag is not given (in which case LDAP authentication must be enabled; e.g., via --enable-ldap-auth), configure will search for OpenLDAP headers and libraries; if found, it will assume they are a suitable version and use them.
If --with-ldap is given (either because OpenLDAP is not installed or an unsuitable version is installed), headers and libraries relative to the root of the specified directory will be used rather than any installed OpenLDAP files; it is not necessary to installOpenLDAP, you only need to build it - so you do not need to be concerned about hassles associated with upgrading or any other versions that might already be installed on your system.
To build OpenLDAP for DACS, from the root of your OpenLDAP distribution do:
% ./configure --disable-slapd --enable-static
% make
If so instructed, do a " make depend" before the make.
See the DACS configure arguments: --enable-ldap-auth[52] and --with-ldap[53]
6.Readline
The history and editing functionality provided by the GNU Readline Library[54] can be nice to have when using dacsexpr(1)[55] interactively. This release of DACS has been tested with version 6.2, although we have used readline-6.0 and readline-6.1 with recent releases of DACS. Note that you may need to compile Readline with the -fPIC flag (" make CFLAGS=-fPIC").
It is not necessary for you to installreadline, you only need to build it - so you do not need to be concerned about hassles associated with upgrading or any other versions that might already be installed on your system.
 
Notes
 
 
•When building on Mac OS X, it was necessary to fix a bug by editing shlib/Makefile and making this change:
#SHOBJ_LDFLAGS = -dynamic
SHOBJ_LDFLAGS = -dynamiclib
See the DACS configure arguments: --with-readline[56]
5.Configure and build DACS libraries, services, commands, and utilities
See Build Options[57] for build alternatives and options to configure.
% cd src
% ./configure
% gmake
To confirm that DACS has been built with the third-party packages that you intended, from the run:
% ./version -v
You should ensure that the sslclient utility is working correctly. From the src directory, you can test it using the following command:
% perl -e 'printf "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n";' | ./sslclient dacs.dss.ca:443
which should print the contents of https://dacs.dss.ca to the standard output. You should repeat this test substituting the name of your server and port.
 
Tip
 
 
After building DACS, it is strongly recommended that you run the self-tests (expression evaluation, crypto code, string handling, and so on) from the src directory:
% gmake test
If any error occurs during testing, testing will stop immediately and a message will be displayed. In this event, first check that you are using the recommended software packages and that your build flags are correct. Most often, problems are the result of mixing header files or library files from different versions of a third-party package (e.g., OpenSSL) or incorrect file permissions. If you cannot find anything wrong with your configuration, please submit a bug report that includes the self test output and describes your platform (you can include the output of "./version -v").
6.If all looks good, install DACS
% gmake install
 
Notes
 
 
•If gmake complains about not being able to find xsltproc, docbook.xsl, or something that might be related to installing the documentation, try:
% (cd ../man; gmake touch)
% gmake install
•This will install the rules for the standard DACS web services and run dacsacl(1)[58] to create and install an index for them.
•You can specify DESTDIR[59] to gmake when installing or uninstalling:
% gmake DESTDIR=/tmp/mydacs install
The installation process may prompt you for the owner name and group name to use for files and directories; it will guess at reasonable defaults for your platform. The appropriate responses will depend on local conventions, but to start with you might set the owner to your login name or root, and the group name to the same name that is used by Apache (specified by the Group[60] directive in httpd.conf).
 
Tip
 
 
While running " gmake install", important instructions regarding manual installation steps may be displayed. A copy is written to .build_notes, truncating any previous contents.
7.As part of the installation procedure, the DACS manual pages are copied into the DACSman directory (default: /usr/local/dacs/man). If you adjust your MANPATH environment variable to include that directory, try:
% man dacs
While it is occasionally handy to view the manual pages using the man command, the HTML documentation is far superior.
8.Build a DACS-enabled httpd
Please consult apache/README in the DACS distribution for details and, from the apache directory, do:
% gmake help
 
Security
 
 
You can build the mod_auth_dacs module[7] with a module identification string (a "version tag") with varying amounts of detail, or without a tag. For a full-length tag, use " gmake tag", for a simple tag use " gmake smalltag", or to disable the tag use "gmake notag" or "gmake module". We suggest that you compile mod_auth_dacs with a tag so that Apache'sSERVER_SIGNATURE and Server response header field can include DACS version identification; this makes it easy to tell which version of DACS the server is running and helps to detect mismatches. If mod_auth_dacs is compiled with debugging enabled or if the SetDACSAuthDebug[61] directive enables debugging, additional version information is added to the tag. For production use, identifying the modules in your Apache server is considered by some to be a potential security weakness - you may reasonably choose not to include the version tag. For some versions of Apache, module identification can be suppressed at runtime through its ServerTokens[62] directive.
If you want mod_auth_dacs[7] to be a dynamic module, which is recommended, do:
% cd apache
% gmake tag
% gmake install
Check that your httpd.conf has the appropriate LoadModule directive.
If you want mod_auth_dacs module[7] to be a static module:
1.Copy apache/mod_auth_dacs.c to Apache'smodules/aaa directory
2.Re-run Apache's configure, adding mod_auth_dacs ( --with-module=aaa:auth_dacs)
3.Reinstall Apache:
% make install
4.Verify that mod_auth_dacs appears in the list of Apache modules:
% httpd -l
 
Tip
 
 
Because mod_auth_dacs[7] references symbols in mod_ssl, apparently those symbols must be loaded beforemod_auth_dacs is loaded. This can be ensured by statically compiling mod_ssl into httpd (configure httpd with --enable-ssl and verify with " httpd -l") and using the following directive in httpd.conf to dynamically load the mod_auth_dacs module:
LoadModule auth_dacs_module modules/mod_auth_dacs.so
Alternatively, it may be sufficient to dynamically load mod_sslbefore mod_auth_dacs.
If mod_ssl symbols are unavailable when they are needed, you'll probably see a message like the following when you try to start httpd:
mod_auth_dacs.so: undefined symbol: ssl_hook_Fixup
After you've installed mod_auth_dacs, restart httpd.
If you built the module with a tag, verify that the DACS version identifier appears in SERVER_SIGNATURE. You can do this by hitting Apache's printenv CGI program from your browser or using a command like:
% http "http:// myserver:myserverport/cgi-bin/printenv"
(first making sure that Apache'sprintenv CGI is executable) and examining the SERVER_SIGNATURE environment variable, or by running:
% telnet  myserver myserverport
and typing:
OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0
followed by a blank line and examining the Server response header.
 
Note
 
 
•The URLs that follow will use http and omit myserverport. Substitute https and/or include myserverport as necessary for your configuration.
•If you install a new version of DACS, please make sure that you use the mod_auth_dacs module that comes with it. Follow the instructions above.
9.An assortment of DACS files, including HTML documentation and CSS files, are copied into the DACSwww directory (default: /usr/local/dacs/www).
While you can view the documentation simply by pointing your web browser at the DACSwww directory, it is recommended that you make it available through Apache using its Alias[63] directive because the default site configuration (site.conf-std) expects handlers and DTDs to be available using certain URLs.
Add lines like the following to your httpd.conf:
Alias /dacs      "/usr/local/dacs/www/"
Alias /css       "/usr/local/dacs/www/css/"
Alias /dtd-xsd   "/usr/local/dacs/www/dtd-xsd/"
Alias /examples  "/usr/local/dacs/www/examples/"
Alias /handlers  "/usr/local/dacs/www/handlers/"
Alias /infocards "/usr/local/dacs/www/infocards/"
Alias /man       "/usr/local/dacs/www/man/"
Alias /misc      "/usr/local/dacs/www/misc/"
Alias /mod       "/usr/local/dacs/www/mod/"
To see the DACS DTD files from your browser, you can also add:
AddType text/plain      .dtd
These .dtd files are only used to document XML structures and messages used by DACS and are cited in the documentation.
You should also uncomment these two directives in your site.conf file:
XSD_BASE_URL "/dacs/dtd-xsd"
DTD_BASE_URL "/dacs/dtd-xsd"
 
Tip
 
 
After restarting httpd, you can view the documentation using a URL that looks like http:// myserver/dacs/man or simply http:// myserver/man.
10.Access to all DACS web services (everything installed in the .../cgi-bin/dacs directory) must be controlled by DACS; that is, they must be " DACS-wrapped". Assuming you are following the defaults for installing DACS, these are the only files that are required to be DACS-wrapped.
DACS-wrapping a resource or set of related resources involves:
•Configuring Apache so that it uses DACS to manage access to the contents of a directory or portion of URL space and
•Configuring one or more DACS access control rules for the jurisdiction responsible for the resources (this is done for the DACS web services by the default ACLs).
Configuring Apache involves, at minimum, adding directives like the following to the appropriate VirtualHost section of httpd.conf:
AddDACSAuth dacs-acs /usr/local/dacs/bin/dacs_acs "-t -v"
SetDACSAuthMethod dacs-acs external
SetDACSAuthConf dacs-acs "/usr/local/dacs/dacs.conf"
<Location /cgi-bin/dacs>
   AuthType DACS
   AuthDACS dacs-acs
   Require valid-user
# Note: For Apache 2.4, instead use:
# Require dacs-authz
   Options ExecCGI
</Location>
 
Tip
 
 
Remember to restart Apache after making changes to httpd.conf.
Some administrators may choose to make all content or all CGIs DACS-wrapped. That is probably a more secure approach, although of course it can be somewhat less efficient than segmenting the server's URL space into "secure" and "insecure" areas. Content that is not DACS-wrapped is totally oblivious to DACS and incurs no overhead due to DACS. Also, this approach may necessitate making "holes" in the URL space for non-access controlled resources, which must be done with care.
 
Tip
 
 
If you decide to DACS-wrap everything, you will likely want to add rules to grant access to various public resources, such as CSS files, robots.txt, favicon.ico, and various public DACS resources, such as its man, dtd-xsd, etc. directories (see the instructions for the Alias directive above). The default ACL acl-stddocs.0 does this for some resources, but you may need to extend the list to grant access to additional public resources.

Initial Configuration

 
Tip
 
 
At this point, reviewing dacs.quick(7)[5] is strongly recommended. It provides a detailed example of what needs to be done to make your DACS operational and how to do some basic testing.
 
Tip
 
 
The interactive dacsinit utility can perform the steps described below quickly. You will find dacsinit in the distribution's src directory. It can be run anytime after DACS has been built and installed. It produces a directory structure for the federation, copies the distribution's site configuration file, creates a minimal dacs.conf for the federation and one jurisdiction, makes federation and jurisdiction encryption keys, and generates metadata for the jurisdiction. The resulting configuration can be used immediately by DACS commands and by DACS web services after Apache has been configured for DACS.
Passing the -d flag to dacsinit causes it to append a string to certain paths and filenames so that, for debugging or test purposes, it is unlikely to overwrite any "real" configuration files. Passing it the -n flag causes it to display what it would do without performing any of the actions.
Having installed DACS, the next major step is to do some initial configuration of your federation and jurisdiction(s). At each jurisdiction in your federation you will need to do the following:
1.Install the default site configuration file. The distribution comes with a default site configuration file found in the distribution's conf/site.conf-std file. The installation procedure copies this file into the DACSfederations directory. After making a backup copy of any federations/site.conf file that is already there, copy federations/site.conf-std to federations/site.conf, applying any customizations you require (customizations are usually done in dacs.conf though, so that you can simply copy on top of the previous site.conf). Note that conf/site.conf-std may well change in a new release and you should use the latest version.
2.As part of the installation procedure, a default set of access control rules is copied into the DACSacls directory (default: /usr/local/dacs/acls). The default site.conf file (site.conf-std) configures DACS to look in that directory for the default rules. These rules control access to DACS web services and are sufficient for proper operation.
 
Tip
 
 
If your installed DACS web services have a filename suffix (e.g., .cgi, you should probably build DACS with an appropriate --with-cgi-suffix flag or customize the rules manually. If it is necessary to change the default rules, consider overriding them at the jurisdiction level instead of editing a default ACL file - this will make it easier for you to upgrade because you will not have to carry these changes forward to future releases of DACS.
 
Security
 
 
Access to some administrative and experimental DACS web services is completely disabled or restricted by default; change these with care and at your own risk, particularly if your web server is reachable from the Internet.
3.Configure your dacs.conf file at each jurisdiction. At the very least, you must provide FEDERATION_DOMAIN[64], FEDERATION_NAME[65], and JURISDICTION_NAME[66] directives; all other required directives will come from the site.conf file installed in an earlier step if you do not specify them.
4.Use dacskey(1)[67] to make encryption keys for the federation (if you are creating a new federation) or obtain a copy of the federation's encryption keys for each new jurisdiction (if you are joining an existing federation). Each jurisdiction in a federation must have a copy of the same federation keys.
5.Use dacskey(1)[67] to make encryption keys for each new jurisdiction (each jurisdiction will have different keys).
6.Create a group definition that describes your jurisdictions - see dacs.groups(5)[68] - and install an identical copy at each jurisdiction.
7.Check ownership and permissions on DACS executables and data files.
 
Security
 
 
All access to DACS configuration files (dacs.conf, site.conf) and keys must be limited to the DACS administrator and the DACS CGI programs called by Apache. The installation process tries to set this reasonably, but you should re-check now and after making changes because it is vital to maintain a secure system (e.g., ls -lR /usr/local/dacs).

Initial Testing

Having configured Apache and DACS, you should try some basic DACS web services to make sure that they are working properly before you go on to make customizations.
For example, invoke dacs_version(8)[14] from your browser to check that it is properly DACS-wrapped (adjust the URL for your environment):
% http "http:// myserver/cgi-bin/dacs/dacs_version"
Review the DACS log files (default: /usr/local/dacs/logs/*) to see what happened. You can also try dacsversion(1)[69] from the command line.
You should verify that dacs_list_jurisdictions(8)[11] works properly.
The next step is to configure an authentication method - see dacs_authenticate(8)[8] and try to authenticate. Once that appears to be working, you can try dacs_current_credentials(8)[9], dacs_prenv(8)[10], dacs_conf(8)[12], and dacs_signout(8)[13].

Build Options

Running configure generates config.nice (over-writing any previous contents), which can be executed at some later time if you want to re-run configure with the same arguments.
 
Tip
 
 
After you are happy with your configuration, consider squirrelling away a copy of config.nice in case you want to reconfigure DACS or for use with later releases of DACS.
It is possible to "bundle" several of the DACS utility programs together into a single binary called dacs. This is similar to what OpenSSL does with its openssl command. Instead of running:
% dacsacl ...
you would run:
% dacs dacsacl ...
Running dacs without arguments displays the list of built-in utilities. Some utilities have multiple names that are equivalent; these appear in a comma-separated list. To build this combined command, add the flag bundle=yes to command lines when building and installing:
% gmake bundle=yes
% gmake bundle=yes install
The commands that are bundled into the dacs command won't be built as separate programs. To build and install both bundled and unbundled commands:
% gmake bundle=both
% gmake bundle=both install
Command: gmake or " gmake build"
This will build libraries, services, and utilities in the source directory. By default, the build process will create shared libraries and binaries if they are supported on your platform.
 
Tip
 
 
If you encounter problems while building DACS with shared libraries, use --disabled-shared and --enable-static with configure and try building it again.
Command: " gmake install"
This will install all DACS components. We recommend that everything other than CGI binaries be put under /usr/local/dacs, which is the default. The CGI binaries are by default installed in .../ your-apache-dir/cgi-bin/dacs. By default, DACS utilities will be installed in /usr/local/dacs/bin, which you may want to put on your PATH for convenience.
Command: " gmake clean"
Removes binaries, object files, and other junk in the build directory
Command: " gmake distclean"
Does a "gmake clean" and cleans up so that configure can be re-done.
Command: " gmake extraclean"
Does a "gmake distclean" and removes configure. After this, do:
% autoconf -I../include
and then run configure.
Command: " gmake uninstall"
Removes installed binaries, include files, and libraries
Other useful build commands (these should be self-explanatory):
% gmake build-services
% gmake build-progs
% gmake build-static
% gmake build-shared
% gmake build-static-services
% gmake build-shared-services
% gmake build-static-progs
% gmake build-shared-progs
% gmake build-shared-lib
% gmake install-libs
% gmake install-shared-lib
% gmake install-static-lib
% gmake install-progs
% gmake install-services

Third-party support options.PP
--with-apache=DIR
Root Apache install directory; if DIR is "omit", however, a basic subset of DACS will be installed ( also see above[73]) (example: if Apache files have been installed in /usr/local/apache2.2/include, /usr/local/apache2.2/conf, etc., use --with-apache=/usr/local/apache2.2)
--with-apache-apr=DIR
Root ApacheAPR install directory; required only when Apache2.2 or 2.4 are used (example: --with-apache-apr=/usr/local/apache2.2/apr-httpd)
--with-apache-apr-config=PATH
ApacheAPR configuration program; required only when Apache2.2 or 2.4 are used and the correct program is not on the search path; this flag may be required if the build system has more than one instance of Apache installed or if you have installed Apache in a non-standard location (example: --with-apache-apr-config=/usr/local/apache2.2/apr-httpd/bin/apr-1-config)
--with-apache-apr-cpp-defs=FLAGS
Preprocessor flags required when compiling files that include ApacheAPR code; may be required with some "non-standard" cases when Apache2.2 or 2.4 are used and " apr-1-config --cppflags" is unavailable or does not report the correct flags (example: --with-apache-apr-cpp-defs=-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE)
 
Note
 
 
It has been reported that on some GNU/Linux platforms, such as Ubuntu, it is necessary to define these symbols when building DACS code that includes APR header files (such as dacsversion):
#define LINUX 2
#define _REENTRANT
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
--with-apache-apr-includes=DIR
ApacheAPR include files directory; required with some "non-standard" cases when Apache2.2 or 2.4 are used and apr-1-config is unavailable or does not report the correct directory (example: --with-apache-apr-includes=/usr/bin/include/apr-1.0)
--with-apxs=PATH
By default, the build procedure expects the Apacheapxs utility to be bin/apxs, relative to Apache's installation directory. On systems where this is incorrect, you must specifically configure the path for apxs. (example: --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs2)
--with-bdb=DIR
Location of the root of the installed Berkeley DB libraries, include files, etc.; for example --with-bdb=/usr/local/db-5.3.21. This implies --enable-bdb.
--with-cgi-bin=DIR
Location of Apache CGI files for DACS web services. This will resolve to DIR/cgi-bin/dacs if it exists, or DIR/dacs if that exists, or DIR if its last component is "dacs".
--with-cgi-suffix=SUFFIX
When installing CGI executables, add SUFFIX as the file extension. A typical value for SUFFIX is ".cgi". The default access control rules for DACS web services (via the VFS item type dacs_acls) respect this suffix. On Windows platforms, where ".exe" is the standard extension for programs, SUFFIX is set to that by default. Using a SUFFIX of "no" sets the extension to the null string.
--with-dacs-conf=PATH
Specify default DACS config file (default: PREFIX/federations/dacs.conf)
--with-dacs-log=PATH
Specify initial DACS log file (default: PREFIX/logs/error_log)
--with-expat=DIR
Root directory of installed Expat libraries and include files. If Expat files have been installed in /usr/local/expat/include, /usr/local/expat/lib, etc., use --with-expat=/usr/local/expat.
--with-federations-root=DIR
Location of DACS federations root directory (default: PREFIX/federations)
--with-htdocs=DIR
Location of ApacheDACS files if not the htdocs subdirectory of the Apache install directory.
--with-iconv=DIR
Path to parent of iconv installation. This flag may be required if you are enabling Samba support.
--with-jdk-bin
If Java support is enabled, this identifies the directory containing the java, javac, javah, and jar commands. If this flag is absent, configure will look for those programs using the current PATH variable. (Example: --with-jdk-bin=/usr/local/java/bin)
--with-jdk-includes
If Java support is enabled, this is a list of one or more GCC include flags for JDK include directories (Example: --with-jdk-includes=-I/usr/local/jdk/include -I/usr/local/jdk/include/freebsd)
--with-ldap=DIR
Location of OpenLDAPsource files. This is the root directory for the OpenLDAP source distribution (Example: /local/src/openldap-2.2.28). This implies --enable-ldap-auth.
--with-mailer-prog=PATH
Location of a mailer program to use instead of sendmail. This is only needed if email support is required. If --with-mailer-args is also specified, it will be used as the command line arguments. See dacsemail(1)[74] for a description of how the mailer is expected to behave.
--with-mailer-args=STRING
Command line arguments to use with the selected mailer program. This is only required if email support is required. See dacsemail(1)[74] for a description of how the mailer is expected to behave.
--with-readline=LIB
Use GNU Readline[54] when available. If LIB is given, it is the link flag to use or the pathname for the library (other flags may also be specified). (Example: --with-readline=-Wl,-rpath,/local/src/readline-6.2/lib -L/local/src/readline-6.2/lib -I/local/src/readline-6.2/include)
--with-samba=DIR
Location of Samba source files. This is the root directory for the Samba source distribution (Example: /local/src/samba-3.6.12). This implies --enable-ntlm-auth.
--with-sendmail=PATH
Location of sendmail(8)[75]. This is only needed if email support is required and the location of the sendmail command found at configuration time must be overridden. If --with-mailer-args is also specified, it will be used instead of the default sendmail command line arguments. See dacsemail(1)[74] for additional details.
--with-sqlite=DIR
Location of the root of the installed SQLite libraries, include files, etc.; for example --with-sqlite=/usr/local/sqlite-3.7.10. This implies --enable-sqlite.
--with-ssl=DIR
Location of the root of the installed OpenSSL libraries and include files. If OpenSSL files have been installed in /usr/local/openssl/include, /usr/local/openssl/lib, etc., use --with-expat=/usr/local/openssl.
--with-xmlsec1-config=PATH
If the build procedure cannot find xmlsec1-config, or if it finds the wrong one, you can specify its location as PATH. This may only be required if InfoCard authentication has been enabled.
To specify additional flags for compiling or linking DACS, set CFLAGS or LDFLAGS, respectively.
To specify additional flags for compiling or linking the mod_auth_dacs module[7], set APACHE_CFLAGS or APACHE_LDFLAGS, respectively. For example, this command will cause mod_auth_dacs to be built with the -m64 flag and DACS to be built with both the -m64 flag and the -O3 flag:
% ./configure "APACHE_CFLAGS=-m64" "CFLAGS=-O3 -m64" ...
