From: Axel Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 09:48:51 GMT Subject: REMOTE_USER value propagation through http push Message-ID: <4DA57183.6040308@laposte.net> Hello I set up a git server with HTTP authentication with Apache through LDAP (Debian Squeeze + Apache 2.2 + mod_authnz_ldap). I m using gitweb for browsing the repositories. At this moment, the commiter name appears to be the local user who called "git push". The username used for HTTP authentication is not used as commiter name, though the REMOTE_USER environment variable is defined. After a quick look at http-backend.c it looks like the GIT_COMMITER_NAME variable should have been defined with the REMOTE_USER variable. Is this right ? In Apache access logs, the REMOTE_USER appears to be defined in the last request of the push : 127.0.1.1 - - [13/Apr/2011:11:45:08 +0200] "GET /git/sandbox/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 467 "-" "git/1.7.2.5" 127.0.1.1 - - [13/Apr/2011:11:45:08 +0200] "POST /git/sandbox/git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 401 618 "-" "git/1.7.2.5" 127.0.1.1 - ldapuser [13/Apr/2011:11:45:08 +0200] "POST /git/sandbox/git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 353 "-" "git/1.7.2.5" Is this behaviour expected ? Thanks
