# Drupal

## Presentation

Drupal is a CMS written in PHP. It can works with external modules to extends its functionalities. One of this module can be used to delegate authentication server to the web server: Webserver Auth.

## Installation

Install Webserver Auth module, by downloading it, and unarchive it in the drupal modules/ directory.

## Configuration

### Drupal module activation

Go on Drupal administration interface and enable the Webserver Auth module.

### Drupal virtual host

Configure Drupal virtual host like other protected virtual host.

If you are protecting Drupal with LL::NG as reverse proxy, convert header into REMOTE_USER environment variable.

- For Apache:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
           ServerName drupal.example.com

           PerlHeaderParserHandler Lemonldap::NG::Handler

           ...

    </VirtualHost>

- For Nginx:

    server {
      listen 80;
      server_name drupal.example.com;
      root /path/to/application;
      # Internal authentication request
      location = /lmauth {
        internal;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/llng-fastcgi-server/llng-fastcgi.sock;
        # Drop post datas
        fastcgi_pass_request_body  off;
        fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH "";
        # Keep original hostname
        fastcgi_param HOST $http_host;
        # Keep original request (LLNG server will received /llauth)
        fastcgi_param X_ORIGINAL_URI  $request_uri;
      }

      # Client requests
      location / {
        auth_request /lmauth;
        auth_request_set $lmremote_user $upstream_http_lm_remote_user;
        auth_request_set $lmlocation $upstream_http_location;
        error_page 401 $lmlocation;
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

        ...

        include /etc/lemonldap-ng/nginx-lua-headers.conf;
      }
      location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
      }
    }

### Drupal virtual host in Manager

Go to the Manager and create a new virtual host for Drupal.

Just configure the access rules.

If using LL::NG as reverse proxy, configure the `Auth-User` header, else no headers are needed.

### Protect only the administration pages

With the above solution, all the Drupal site will be protected, so no anonymous access will be allowed.

You cannot use the `unprotect` rule because Drupal navigation is based on query strings (?q=admin, ?q=user, etc.), and unprotect rule only works on URL patterns.

You can create a special virtual host and use Apache rewrite module to switch between open and protected hosts:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName drupal.example.com

        # DocumentRoot
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/drupal/
        DirectoryIndex index.php

        # Redirect admin pages
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond  %{QUERY_STRING} q=(admin|user)
        RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://admindrupal.example.com/$1 [R]

        LogLevel warn
        ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/drupal-error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/httpd/drupal-access.log combined
    </VirtualHost>
    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName admindrupal.example.com

        # SSO protection
        PerlHeaderParserHandler Lemonldap::NG::Handler

        # DocumentRoot
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/drupal/
        DirectoryIndex index.php

        LogLevel warn
        ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/admindrupal-error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/httpd/admindrupal-access.log combined
    </VirtualHost>
