Authbind RPM package

Basic rpm spec file for creating an rpm (one has been created and packaged on a centos 6.5 machine : 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64). The authbind source was take from the location: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/authbind/authbind_2.1.1.tar.gz

TO BUILD

cd authbind
rpmbuild -v -bb --clean SPECS/authbind.spec

Resulting RPM CONTAINS:

/etc/authbind/byaddr
/etc/authbind/byport
/etc/authbind/byuid
/usr/local/bin/authbind
/usr/local/lib/authbind/helper
/usr/local/lib/authbind/libauthbind.so.1
/usr/local/lib/authbind/libauthbind.so.1.0
/usr/local/share/man/man1/authbind.1
/usr/local/share/man/man8/authbind-helper.8

Example usage:

Running tomcat on port 80

(listens on all interfaces)

echo "::/0,80" > /etc/authbind/byuid/`id -u tomcat`

Modify you tomcat startup process to use authbind, for example:

Start the tomcat via authbind:

su -m tomcat -c "cd /home/tomcat/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.42 && authbind --deep ./bin/catalina.sh start"

You can always edit the catalina.sh to use authbind --deep

changing:

eval \"$_RUNJAVA\"

to:

eval authbind --deep \"$_RUNJAVA\"

Notes

If you get any problems starting the tomcat try adding the following to your CATALINA_OPTS. The build rpm is using authbind source that does support ipv6, but if you have problems

"-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
