I need some assistance from a talented C programmer, preferably with
some experience in Apache 2.0 module development.
For a while, I have had a version of mod_ntlm_winbind cleaned up to work
with ntlm_auth, and handling both NTLM and Negotiate HTTP authentication
via Samba 3 and Samba4's ntlm_auth utility.
I have not had the time or energy to properly maintain (it needs basic
auth added), promote (it needs a manpage, homepage etc) or port (it
needs to work on Apache 2.0) this module, so I'm looking for help.
The task is actually quite simple, no intimate knowledge of windows
authentication protocols is required, as this is all handled by
ntlm_auth. (Communication with the utility is over unix pipes, attached
to stdin/stdout of ntlm_auth).
There is example code, both in the existing module, other modules and in
a patch to cyrus-sasl, and I'm quite happy to help out whoever takes
this on. The existing code (for apache 1.3) can be found here:
http://download.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/lorikeet/mod_ntlm_winbind/
There is one example Apache2 module here:
http://source.grep.no/
It is a good start, but it needs cleaning up (no NTLMSSP parsing at
all), and it still seems to use global variables (not permitted in the
threaded apache 2).
