[SOLVED][WAPT 1.6 - Debian 9] - Kerberos problem

Hello,
I can no longer activate Kerberos, there is an error with the libnginx-mod-http-auth-spnego package... :(

nginx dlopen() "/usr/share/nginx/modules/ngx_http_auth_spnego_module.so" failed (/usr/share/nginx/modules/ngx_http_auth_spnego_module.so : cannot open shared ...)
nginx configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

https://wapt.tranquil.it/debian/wapt-1. ...n/n/nginx/

Even in Stretch, it installs the libnginx-mod-http-auth-spnego 1.10.3-1 package, while a 1.10.3-2 version exists.
I checked the package contents:
- 1.10.3-1: the library is missing from the ngx_http_auth_spnego_module.so package
- 1.10.3-2: the library is ngx_http_auth_spnego_module.so

I think there's a problem on your end.

Indeed, there was an error in the build chain. I've just fixed it; the wapt-1.5 and wapt-1.6 repositories should now be OK. I'll clean them up a bit and put the build chain on the Tranquility GitHub repository.

Maintaining nginx modules is really tedious... Even with dynamic loading, you have to recompile the entire nginx package each time to make sure you have the correct ABI. I hope the Debian project will include it by default in the next major release!

Feel free to come back to the forum if you still have problems.

Sincerely,

Denis

Hi Denis,
it's working better now, thanks! Since this package isn't present in Debian testing, there's very little chance of seeing it in the next stable release... Thanks, best regards
