Apache 2.2 64-bit pre-compiled module

[Claude]

Hello Manuel,

It's my first post here so let me first congratulate and thank you for
this amazing Web authentication application. We've been using it since
2009 and it has been working flawlessly as our SSO since then.

Our production servers run on Linux and it has been very easy for me
to compile a working Apache module for these servers. However, my
development machine is now running on Windows 7 x64 on which I'm
running Apache 2.2.17 x64, PHP 5.3.5 x64 and ColdFusion 9 x64. I'm not
equiped nor would I know how to compile a module for Apache 2.2 x64.

I am wondering how difficult it would be for you - or any other member
of this discussion group - to post here or on your neon1.net Web site
a pre-compiled Apache 2.2 x64 Windows module? I would be most grateful
for this!

Thank you!

Claude

That's great to hear - thanks for the feedback :)

I'll give it a try as time permits - with the x86 modules, it was quite complicated and required gathering various obsolete Visual Studio 6 bits, Service Packs and patches from the web and fiddling with Makefiles and project settings. Hopefully things have improved since then ;)

Hello again,

after a few hours of tinkering, I think I've succeeded at making a module binary for Windows Apache 2.2 x64. It's attached to this message - hope it makes it through Google Groups. Works fine for me on Windows 7 x64 with the Apache x64 distributions from apachehaus.com and blackdot.be (where did you get yours, BTW?), but YMMV ;)

Please let me know if this works for you.

Regards,

Manuel

Hello Manuel,

Wow! That is good service. I have downloaded and tested your x64
module and it looks like it IS working!! At least, Apache now starts
and does not complain. I'll do more extensive tests to confirm that it
is really working as expected in the next few days and report if it's
not here - it is now 22h00 local time.

I am presently using the Apache x64 from apachehaus.com. I was
previously (for 2.2.15 and older) using the blackdot.be version but
due to some delay in obtaining the latest version from Jorge, I have
switched to apachehaus.com.

Again, thank you very very much!!

Cheers!

Claude

Hello again Manuel,

I now confirm that everything is working perfectly as expected: the
auth_pubtkt cookie and the server variables REMOTE_USER,
REMOTE_USER_DATA, and REMOTE_USER_TOKENS.

Great!

Thank you so much, it is truly appreciated!!

You're welcome - thanks for the feedback! The Windows x64 binary is now included in the official distribution.
