Installing the Crowd Apache Connector on Other UNIX-Like Systems

The following instructions have been tested on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server. Other platforms may require variations to this procedure.

Procedure

1. Open a terminal on the system, change to a suitable working directory, and enter the following command:

   su -c "yum -y install autoconf automake gcc httpd-devel libcurl-devel libtool libxml2-devel mod_dav_svn subversion-devel"
   

2. Enter the root password when prompted.
3. Enter the following commands:

   wget https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/svn/CWDAPACHE/tags/2.0.2/mod_authnz_crowd-2.0.2.tar.gz
   tar xzf mod_authnz_crowd-2.0.2.tar.gz
   cd mod_authnz_crowd-2.0.2
   autoreconf --install
   ./configure
   make
   su -c "make install"
   

4. Enter the root password when prompted.
5. Everything you need should now be installed and Apache should restart. If Apache fails to start, check the /var/log/httpd/error_log file.

Now that the software is installed, the next step is to configure Apache authentication.
