Installing the Crowd Apache Connector on Ubuntu Linux

The following instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 11.04. Other versions 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:

    
   sudo apt-get -y install autoconf libtool apache2-threaded-dev libsvn-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxml2-dev apache2-mpm-worker libapache2-svn 
   

2. Enter your 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 
   sudo make install 
   

4. Enter your password if prompted.
5. Everything you need should now be installed and Apache should restart. If Apache fails to start, check the /var/log/apache2/error.log file.

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