Hello all,

This is my very first post and I’m very excited and hope I can build up my knowledge!

I have an OTRS 6 Server running on RHEL 6.

Our OTRS Server is behind a IBM Tivoli Access Manager ( Client - > TAM (IBM Tivoli Access Manager) - > OTRS). On TAM we have a junction created https://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/ITAME/SC32-1359-00/en_US/HTML/am51_webseal_guide16.htm so the client is not going via the direct link e.g. https://otrs_fqdn/otrs/index.pl but via TAM e.g. https://tam_otrs_junction/otrs/index.pl

TAM basically verifies if user A is in Active Directory group X to check whether he or she is allowed to access the junction. TAM can also be configured for SSO in such a way that it grabs the Kerberos ticket and after successful authentication it sets a custom variable iv-user in the http header and sends it to the backend application in this case OTRS. Now I would like to configure OTRS for SSO. This can be done with one line in OTRS $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule'} = 'Kernel::System::CustomerAuth::HTTPBasicAuth'; https://doc.otrs.com/doc/manual/admin/6.0/en/html/external-backends.html This is an example configuration for an apache ($ENV{REMOTE_USER}) auth. backend. Use it if you want to have a single login through apache http-basic-auth



I have enabled mod_log_forensic on my Apache and in fact I can see the Windows User ID being send in the iv-user variable in the header. So what I know do (and please correct my if I’m mistaken) I grab the iv-user header variable and re-write it to REMOTE_USER with the code below SetEnvIf HTTP_IV_USER "(.*)$" REMOTE_USER=$1

I put the SetEnvIf directive in httpd.conf.

The problem now is that the designated cig-bin directory contains 3 scripts (index.pl customer.pl and npg-genericinterface.pl) and as far SSO works for index.pl I’d like to exclude nph-genericinterface.pl from SSO. I tried to set the SetEnvIf directive even per Location but still tries to SSO for the generic-interface (it is a web service backend forOTRS). How could I configure this in Apache ?
Here’s the Apache OTRS config:


Code:
