I have a formerly PHP-based user login system that I use for all the
apps on my site, which I''ve recently (quite joyfully) redone in Rails.
Anything on my site that requires authentication now uses a single
data store and a great user experience...
...except Movable Type. Leaving aside any discussion of the relative
merits of MT versus Typo, Textpattern, WordPress, etc., Movable Type
is the blogging engine I use. And by default it uses its own
authentication scheme for comments. In fact, it uses its own _third
party_ authentication scheme (the infamous TypeKey service), and while
it''s technically possible to just have my Rails app create something
identical to MT''s user cookie my users wouldn''t have the
"blessed"
status registered MT commenters have. The integration would be messy,
and I want it not to be messy.
Basically, I want to make these apps talk to each other using
TypeKey''s documented API with as little new code as possible.
<http://www.sixapart.com/typekey/api>
The complication: TypeKey''s API is just CGI vars being passed between
the authentication service and mt-comments.cgi, which is trivial
except that one of those vars (''sig'') has to be DSA signed,
with a
decimal-formatted public key that I''ve never seen in use _anywhere_
else.
I''m very new to encryption and security concepts beyond just SHA1
hashing a password before saving it to my SQL database, and I haven''t
been able to find decent documentation or guidance as to how to
* Generate that freaky decimal public key (I can get OpenSSL to
generate one in hex format, but it needs to be decimal, as described
in the above link)
* Sign the ''sig'' variable in a way that MT will accept
So...any ideas?

I''m having a tough time getting FastCGI working on Apache2 on my main dedicated server. I''ve written the necessary SELinux policy mods and that side of things is fine. I''ve compiled everything, and Apache2 is loading mod_fastcgi fine. FastCGI is starting up with the SuExec wrapper. My simple test script (Perl) is starting up as a static FCGI server, but immediately dying (FastCGI exits with status ''0'' and doesn''t stay running for 30 seconds, etc). The interesting point, to me, is that, when watching my httpd error log, I see the output of the Perl script being written to the log, but it''s not being flushed back to the browser. Obviously, Apache is getting the output, as Apache is writing it to the error log. So... Apache starts. mod_fcgi starts. SuExec wrapper is fine for Apache and mod_fastcgi. The Perl script is fine, and is being processed. But the output is never being sent to the browser. I know my question isn''t inherently RoR-specific, but this is for my RoR apps. I''ve tried running a dispatch.fcgi (both the older version and the newest) and I get the same problem, except that no output is written to the error log aside from the status 0 message. I''ve disabled SELinux, all the normal debugging steps... I can even get FastCGI to exit with other errors (and is there a list somewhere of their meaning?) by passing the wrong -user and -group flags. For some reason, my script is failing after being parsed but before flushing output. It doesn''t seem to be an IPC pipe permission problem, because I''m not getting those types of errors. Also, Apache is obviously getting the output of mod_fcgi as it''s being written to the error_log. I spent all day yesterday trying various configuration options and after 18 hours, I''m ready to beg -- or to switch these apps back to their previous PHP5 incarnations :( Any good resources on this type of problem? Anyone running a similar set-up and have tips? Thanks a ton. -toby

Did you write the perl script as if it would be a CGI script? You have to use a special API to use fastcgi. I have never tried to get SuExec to run so I can''t comment on how difficioult it is to set up. But for the sake of sanity I would cut it out as another unknown variable.

Rails is set up perfectly well and runs fine as CGI.
With SuExec for FCGI turned off, the static server is started as the
apache user, which is a low-UID user and causes problems. I prefer to
run with SuExec, as it follows my security model.
The Perl script uses FCGI. I grabbed it from a site and audited it,
and it''s a perfectly solid script that runs well on other boxen.
It''s pasted below:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use FCGI;
$cnt = 0;
while (FCGI::accept() >= 0)
{
print ("Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n");
print ("<head>\n<title>FastCGI Demo Page
(perl)</title>\n</head>
\n");
print ("<h1>FastCGI Demo Page (perl)</h1>\n");
print ("This is coming from a FastCGI server.\n<BR>\n");
print ("Running on <EM>");
print ($ENV{USER});
print ("</EM> to
<EM>$ENV{REMOTE_HOST}</EM>\n<BR>\n");
$cnt++;
print ("This is connection number $cnt\n");
}

For more info, this is the (mildly obfuscated) result of a:
service httpd restart && tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

status ''0''

See how the output of the aforementioned script *is* processed but
never returned to Apache?
When I set dispatch.fcgi to be a static server, I get the same error
(exit status 0) minus the output (because dispatch.fcgi doesn''t
inherently print output).
My mod_fastcgi config is listed below (again, slightly obfuscated).
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/
#FastCgiIpcDir /var/www/fcgi_ipc/tmp
FastCgiWrapper On
#FastCgiServer /var/www/SITENAME/rails/public/dispatch.fcgi -
user USERNAME -group GROUPNAME -initial-env RAILS_ENV=development -
processes 15 -idle-timeout 60
FastCgiServer /var/www/SITENAME/rails/public/test.fcgi -user
USERNAME -group GROUPNAME
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
</IfModule>
Switching the FastCgiWrapper to Off doesn''t help at all.
The pipe in /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ seems fine -- and indeed must be if
FastCGI is processing the script and returning the output to the
Apache process.
So why is Apache bailing and why does the FastCGI server immediately
die after parsing the script once?
Thanks!

Has anyone used strace to debug Apache2 + FCGI? I''m unsure of which process to monitor. The fcgi process manager process doesn''t provide much info. Any idea how to monitor the initial startup of a static dispatch.fcgi process?

Ah, also, now the apache error_log is having the following written to
it...
FCGI is getting the request from Apache and processing the file. It
also seems to be kicking the result back to Apache, as the data that
should be sent to the screen is being written to the error_log.
From my research, mod_fastcgi will dump buffered output to stderr
when writes are made outside of the request loop.
I''d love to get meaningful strace info from this, but I don''t
quite
know how to do so for an Apache -> FCGI request.
Any insights?

Thanks, but that Ruby script is for integrating a Ruby app with TypeKey, i.e. for when you want to use TypeKey as your authentication engine for your app. What I am trying to do is the other way around -- I want to use a Rails app as an authentication *in place of* TypeKey. What I still don''t have is a means of formatting a DSA public key in the way Movable and TypeKey like it (as p, q, g and pub_key decimal values separated by spaces). All my attempts to generate a key so far are formatted as hex values, which in most applications would be perfect but for _this_ purpose will not work. So I guess my question is: How can I format a DSA public key as decimals, per the TypeKey API? - DD On 7/11/05, Todd Grimason <todd-cwT7Wi5Y1r1eoWH0uzbU5w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> * David Demaree [2005-07-11 08:21]: > > > Basically, I want to make these apps talk to each other using > > TypeKey''s documented API with as little new code as possible. > > > > > So...any ideas? > > > > Look around here: > http://typekey.torrez.org/HomePage.html > > and this: > http://jouno.s11.xrea.com/x/script/typekey/TypeKey.rb > > > > -- > > ________________________________ > toddgrimason*todd[ at ]slack.net > > >-- === === === === === === === === === === === ==ddemaree-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org http://practicalmadness.com/
I have no clue how to do the auth or encrypt, but I am building an app that I have t convert some numbers back and forth from hex to decimal and vice versa. My hex numbers are input from text fields so I can use the string method .hex to convert it to decimal. Is your hex number really hex or is it ASCII hex? If it is printed on STDOUT or in a webpage and you can read the hexidecimal then it is an ASCII string and the .hex method will work. (I don''t know if the debug erb command will convert a non-ASCII hex number to an ASCII hex number) I''m still a newbie so that''s about all I can help, if it doesn''t work maybe it will lead you down a different thought path... - Michael
I tried that just now in IRB:
irb(main):007:0> jokey = ''31:1d:e4:51:95:6f:57:c0:51:d6:09:e2:3a:

irb(main):008:0> jokey.hex

Duh. That works. I was able to gsub out all the newlines, white space and colons, use .hex and it comes out as the right kind of integer. Still not sure how to integerize the public key, though. - DD On 7/12/05, Michael King <kingmt-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Maybe try stripping all the : out of the string before the conversion? > > - Michael > > On 7/11/05, David Demaree <ddemaree-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > I tried that just now in IRB: > > > > irb(main):007:0> jokey > > ''31:1d:e4:51:95:6f:57:c0:51:d6:09:e2:3a:06:1f:79:a5:bc:28:79:8a:66:6e:98:9a:17:a4:62:36:65:9e:13:19:6f:be:cc:35:c5:6a:a8:d5:6b:a0:83:be:83:86:63:df:d4:d3:f1:92:6a:11:58:a2:4f:2f:b4:b8:94:ba:18'' > > => > > "31:1d:e4:51:95:6f:57:c0:51:d6:09:e2:3a:06:1f:79:a5:bc:28:79:8a:66:6e:98:9a:17:a4:62:36:65:9e:13:19:6f:be:cc:35:c5:6a:a8:d5:6b:a0:83:be:83:86:63:df:d4:d3:f1:92:6a:11:58:a2:4f:2f:b4:b8:94:ba:18" > > irb(main):008:0> jokey.hex > > => 49 > > > > > > What I need is to get from something like this: > > > > p: > > 00:ff:32:78:00:33:bf:84:51:b3:76:3a:c9:4d:5b: > > f6:70:83:5a:92:c0:b2:bc:08:75:6b:ab:d0:2e:26: > > 44:30:52:36:01:1a:70:40:a5:c9:68:b4:d8:41:c7: > > cd:e0:cd:a9:45:65:4b:04:06:d0:88:b3:7c:f9:84: > > c7:bf:d5:df:41 > > q: > > 00:a6:77:6c:b3:91:d1:b0:8a:0e:e5:d4:00:30:c1: > > bd:89:4a:e8:45:e3 > > g: > > 31:1d:e4:51:95:6f:57:c0:51:d6:09:e2:3a:06:1f: > > 79:a5:bc:28:79:8a:66:6e:98:9a:17:a4:62:36:65: > > 9e:13:19:6f:be:cc:35:c5:6a:a8:d5:6b:a0:83:be: > > 83:86:63:df:d4:d3:f1:92:6a:11:58:a2:4f:2f:b4: > > b8:94:ba:18 > > -----BEGIN DSA PARAMETERS----- > > MIGcAkEA/zJ4ADO/hFGzdjrJTVv2cINaksCyvAh1a6vQLiZEMFI2ARpwQKXJaLTY > > QcfN4M2pRWVLBAbQiLN8+YTHv9XfQQIVAKZ3bLOR0bCKDuXUADDBvYlK6EXjAkAx > > HeRRlW9XwFHWCeI6Bh95pbwoeYpmbpiaF6RiNmWeExlvvsw1xWqo1Wugg76DhmPf > > 1NPxkmoRWKJPL7S4lLoY > > -----END DSA PARAMETERS----- > > > > > > To something like this: > > > > p=11671236708387678327224206536086899180337891539414163231548040398520841845883184000627860280911468857014406210406182985401875818712804278750455023001090753 > > g=8390523802553664927497849579280285206671739131891639945934584937465879937204060160958306281843225586442674344146773393578506632957361175802992793531760152 > > q=1096416736263180470838402356096058638299098593011 > > pub_key=10172504425160158571454141863297493878195176114077274329624884017831109225358009830193460871698707783589128269392033962133593624636454152482919340057145639 > > > > - DD > > > > > > > > > > On Jul 11, 2005, at 8:36 PM, Michael King wrote: > > > > I have no clue how to do the auth or encrypt, but I am building an app > > that I have t convert some numbers back and forth from hex to decimal > > and vice versa. > > > > My hex numbers are input from text fields so I can use the string > > method .hex to convert it to decimal. > > > > Is your hex number really hex or is it ASCII hex?
