Debian update: nginx auth_gss directive unknown

Hello,

WAPT version installed: 1.6
- Server OS: Debian 9.6.

Following a Debian update, nginx was updated to version 1.10.3.

The service no longer starts; it doesn't recognize the auth_gss directive in the configuration file:
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/wapt.conf

. Currently, I've commented out:
# location /add_host_kerberos {
# auth_gss on;
# auth_gss_keytab /etc/nginx/http-krb5.keytab;
# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
#}

How can this be fixed?

The module /usr/lib/nginx/modules/ngx_http_auth_spnego_module.so had been deleted.

The file /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/50-mod-http-auth-spnego.conf existed but was empty.

I restored everything, uncommented the lines in the config file, and restarted Nginx; everything is working correctly.

Hope this helps someone...

Bye!

Hello,

I have the same problem and after checking the file https://wapt.tranquil.it/debian/wapt-1. ... _amd64.deb I realize that the module is missing from the package (/usr/lib/nginx/modules/ngx_http_auth_spnego_module.so).
How did you solve the problem?

Thanks
