     63Once the service is installed, it might be simpler to run the Registry Editor rather than use the `reg add` command documented above.  Navigate to:[[BR]] 
     64`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tracd\Parameters` 
     65 
     66Three (string) parameters are provided: 
     67||!AppDirectory ||C:\Python26\ || 
     68||Application ||python.exe || 
     69||!AppParameters ||scripts\tracd-script.py -p 8080 ... || 
     70 
     71Note that, if the !AppDirectory is set as above, the paths of the executable ''and'' of the script name and parameter values are relative to the directory.  This makes updating Python a little simpler because the change can be limited, here, to a single point. 
     72(This is true for the path to the .htpasswd file, as well, despite the documentation calling out the /full/path/to/htpasswd; however, you may not wish to store that file under the Python directory.) 
     73}}} 
     74 
    6275For Windows 7 User, srvany.exe may not be an option, so you can use [http://www.google.com/search?q=winserv.exe WINSERV] utility and run: 
    6376{{{

    7394== Using Authentication == 
    7495 
    75 Using tracd with Apache .htpasswd files: 
    76  
    77 To create a .htpasswd file using htpasswd: 
    78  
    79 {{{ 
    80  $ htpasswd -c /path/to/env/.htpasswd username 
    81 }}} 
    82 then for additional users: 
    83 {{{ 
    84  $ htpasswd /path/to/env/.htpasswd username2 
    85 }}} 
    86 then for starting the tracd (on windows skip the "=" after --basic-auth): 
    87 {{{ 
    88 tracd -p 8080 --basic-auth=environmentname,/fullpath/environmentname/.htpasswd,/fullpath/environmentname /fullpath/environmentname 
    89 }}} 
    90  
    91  `environmentname` is the directory name of the Trac project folder, as opposed to `/fullpath/environmentname` which is the full path to the Trac project folder. See below for another example. 
    92  
    93 Tracd provides support for both Basic and Digest authentication. The default is to use Digest; to use Basic authentication, replace `--auth` with `--basic-auth` in the examples below. (You must still specify a dialogic "realm", which can be an empty string by trailing the BASICAUTH with a comma.) 
    94  
    95   ''Support for Basic authentication was added in version 0.9.'' 
    96  
    97 The general format for using authentication is (replace `--auth` with `--basic-auth` if you want to use Basic auth): 
    98  
     96Tracd provides support for both Basic and Digest authentication. Digest is considered more secure. The examples below use Digest; to use Basic authentication, replace `--auth` with `--basic-auth` in the command line. 
     97 
     98The general format for using authentication is: 
    9999{{{ 
    100100 $ tracd -p port --auth="base_project_dir,password_file_path,realm" project_path 
    101101}}} 
    102  
    103102where: 
    104  
    105103 * '''base_project_dir''': the base directory of the project specified as follows: 
    106104   * when serving multiple projects: ''relative'' to the `project_path` 
     
    111109 * '''project_path''': path of the project 
    112110 
     111 * **`--auth`** in the above means use Digest authentication, replace `--auth` with `--basic-auth` if you want to use Basic auth.  Although Basic authentication does not require a "realm", the command parser does, so the second comma is required, followed directly by the closing quote for an empty realm name.

    135 === Using a htpasswd password file === 
     135=== Basic Authorization: Using a htpasswd password file === 
    136136This section describes how to use `tracd` with Apache .htpasswd files. 
    137137 
     138  Note: It is necessary (at least with Python 2.6) to install the fcrypt package in order to 
     139  decode the htpasswd format.  Trac source code attempt an `import crypt` first, but there 
     140  is no such package for Python 2.6. 
     141 
    138142To create a .htpasswd file use Apache's `htpasswd` command (see [#GeneratingPasswordsWithoutApache below] for a method to create these files without using Apache): 
    139  
    140143{{{ 
    141144 $ sudo htpasswd -c /path/to/env/.htpasswd username 
     
    147150 
    148151Then to start `tracd` run something like this: 
    149  
    150152{{{ 
    151153 $ tracd -p 8080 --basic-auth="projectdirname,/fullpath/environmentname/.htpasswd,realmname" /fullpath/environmentname 
     
    153155 
    154156For example: 
    155  
    156157{{{ 
    157158 $ tracd -p 8080 --basic-auth="testenv,/srv/tracenv/testenv/.htpasswd,My Test Env" /srv/tracenv/testenv 
    158159}}} 
    159  
    160160''Note:'' You might need to pass "-m" as a parameter to htpasswd on some platforms (OpenBSD). 
    161161 
    162 === Using a htdigest password file === 
     162=== Digest authentication: Using a htdigest password file === 
    163163 
    164164If you have Apache available, you can use the htdigest command to generate the password file. Type 'htdigest' to get some usage instructions, or read [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/htdigest.html this page] from the Apache manual to get precise instructions.  You'll be prompted for a password to enter for each user that you create.  For the name of the password file, you can use whatever you like, but if you use something like `users.htdigest` it will remind you what the file contains. As a suggestion, put it in your <projectname>/conf folder along with the [TracIni trac.ini] file. 
     
    168168=== Generating Passwords Without Apache === 
    169169 
    170 If you don't have Apache available, you can use this simple Python script to generate your passwords: 
     170Basic Authorization can be accomplished via this [http://www.4webhelp.net/us/password.php online HTTP Password generator].  Copy the generated password-hash line to the .htpasswd file on your system. 
     171 
     172You can use this simple Python script to generate a '''digest''' password file: 
    171173 
    172174{{{ 
     
    202204}}} 
    203205 
    204 Note: If you use the above script you must use the --auth option to tracd, not --basic-auth, and you must set the realm in the --auth value to 'trac' (without the quotes). Example usage (assuming you saved the script as trac-digest.py): 
     206Note: If you use the above script you must set the realm in the `--auth` argument to '''`trac`'''. Example usage (assuming you saved the script as trac-digest.py): 
    205207 
    206208{{{ 
     
    209211}}} 
    210212 
    211  
    212 Note: If you would like to use --basic-auth you need to use htpasswd tool from apache server to generate .htpasswd file. The remaining part is similar but make sure to use empty realm (i.e. coma after path). Make sure to use -m option for it.  If you do not have Apache, [trac:source:/tags/trac-0.11/contrib/htpasswd.py htpasswd.py] may help.  (Note that it requires a `crypt` or `fcrypt` module; see the source comments for details.) 
    213  
    214 It is possible to use md5sum utility to generate digest-password file using such method: 
     213==== Using `md5sum` 
     214It is possible to use `md5sum` utility to generate digest-password file: 
    215215{{{ 
    216216 $ printf "${user}:trac:${password}" | md5sum - >>user.htdigest 
    217217}}} 
    218218and manually delete " -" from the end and add "${user}:trac:" to the start of line from 'to-file'.

    237 === Using apache rewrite rules === 
    238 In some situations when you choose to use tracd behind apache, you might experience issues with redirects, like being redirected to URLs with the wrong host or protocol. In this case (and only in this case), setting the `[trac] use_base_url_for_redirect` to `true` can help, as this will force Trac to use the value of `[trac] base_url` for doing the redirects. 
     265=== Using tracd behind a proxy 
     266 
     267In some situations when you choose to use tracd behind Apache or another web server. 
     268 
     269In this situation, you might experience issues with redirects, like being redirected to URLs with the wrong host or protocol. In this case (and only in this case), setting the `[trac] use_base_url_for_redirect` to `true` can help, as this will force Trac to use the value of `[trac] base_url` for doing the redirects. 
     270 
     271If you're using the AJP protocol to connect with `tracd` (which is possible if you have flup installed), then you might experience problems with double quoting. Consider adding the `--unquote` parameter. 
     272 
     273See also [trac:TracOnWindowsIisAjp], [trac:TracNginxRecipe]. 
     274 
     275=== Authentication for tracd behind a proxy 
     276It is convenient to provide central external authentication to your tracd instances, instead of using {{{--basic-auth}}}. There is some discussion about this in #9206. 
     277 
     278Below is example configuration based on Apache 2.2, mod_proxy, mod_authnz_ldap. 
     279 
     280First we bring tracd into Apache's location namespace. 
     281 
     282{{{ 
     283<Location /project/proxified> 
     284        Require ldap-group cn=somegroup, ou=Groups,dc=domain.com 
     285        Require ldap-user somespecificusertoo 
     286        ProxyPass http://localhost:8101/project/proxified/ 
     287        # Turns out we don't really need complicated RewriteRules here at all 
     288        RequestHeader set REMOTE_USER %{REMOTE_USER}s 
     289</Location> 
     290}}} 
     291 
     292Then we need a single file plugin to recognize HTTP_REMOTE_USER header as valid authentication source. HTTP headers like '''HTTP_FOO_BAR''' will get converted to '''Foo-Bar''' during processing. Name it something like '''remote-user-auth.py''' and drop it into '''proxified/plugins''' directory: 
     293{{{ 
     294#!python 
     295from trac.core import * 
     296from trac.config import BoolOption 
     297from trac.web.api import IAuthenticator 
     298 
     299class MyRemoteUserAuthenticator(Component): 
     300 
     301    implements(IAuthenticator) 
     302 
     303    obey_remote_user_header = BoolOption('trac', 'obey_remote_user_header', 'false',  
     304               """Whether the 'Remote-User:' HTTP header is to be trusted for user logins  
     305                (''since ??.??').""")  
     306 
     307    def authenticate(self, req): 
     308        if self.obey_remote_user_header and req.get_header('Remote-User'):  
     309            return req.get_header('Remote-User')  
     310        return None 
     311 
     312}}} 
     313 
     314Add this new parameter to your TracIni: 
     315{{{ 
     316... 
     317[trac] 
     318... 
     319obey_remote_user_header = true 
     320... 
     321}}} 
     322 
     323Run tracd: 
     324{{{ 
     325tracd -p 8101 -r -s proxified --base-path=/project/proxified 
     326}}}
