+<h2><a name="intro" id="intro">Authentication Caching</a></h2>
+ <p>Some users of more heavyweight authentication such as SQL database
+ lookups (<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbd.html">mod_authn_dbd</a></code>) have reported it putting an
+ unacceptable load on their authentication provider. A typical case
+ in point is where an HTML page contains hundreds of objects
+ (images, scripts, stylesheets, media, etc), and a request to the page
+ generates hundreds of effectively-immediate requests for authenticated
+ additional contents.</p>
+ <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_socache.html">mod_authn_socache</a></code> provides a solution to this problem by
+ maintaining a cache of authentication credentials.</p>
+</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h2><a name="usage" id="usage">Usage</a></h2>
+ <p>The authentication cache should be used where authentication
+ lookups impose a significant load on the server, or a backend or
+ network. Authentication by file (<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code>)
+ or dbm (<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbm.html">mod_authn_dbm</a></code>) are unlikely to benefit,
+ as these are fast and lightweight in their own right (though in some
+ cases, such as a network-mounted file, caching may be worthwhile).
+ Other providers such as SQL or LDAP based authentication are more
+ likely to benefit, particularly where there is an observed
+ performance issue. Amongst the standard modules, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html">mod_authnz_ldap</a></code> manages its own cache, so only
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbd.html">mod_authn_dbd</a></code> will usually benefit from this cache.</p>
+ <p>The basic rules to cache for a provider are:</p>
+ <ol><li>Include the provider you're caching for in an
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#authncacheprovidefor">AuthnCacheProvideFor</a></code> directive.</li>
+ <li>List <var>socache</var> ahead of the provider you're
+ caching for in your <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html#authdigestprovider">AuthDigestProvider</a></code> directive.</li>
+ </ol>
+ <p>A simple usage example to accelerate <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbd.html">mod_authn_dbd</a></code>
+ using dbm as a cache engine:</p>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">#AuthnCacheSOCache is optional. If specified, it is server-wide
+AuthnCacheSOCache dbm
+&lt;Directory "/usr/www/myhost/private"&gt;
+ AuthType Basic
+ AuthName "Cached Authentication Example"
+ AuthBasicProvider socache dbd
+ AuthDBDUserPWQuery "SELECT password FROM authn WHERE user = %s"
+ AuthnCacheProvideFor dbd
+ Require valid-user
+ #Optional
+ AuthnCacheContext dbd-authn-example
+&lt;/Directory&gt;</pre>

+<h2><a name="dev" id="dev">Caching with custom modules</a></h2>
+ <p>Module developers should note that their modules must be enabled
+ for caching with <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_socache.html">mod_authn_socache</a></code>. A single optional API function
+ <var>ap_authn_cache_store</var> is provided to cache credentials
+ a provider has just looked up or generated. Usage examples are
+ available in <a href="http://svn.eu.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&amp;revision=957072">r957072</a>, in which three authn providers are enabled for caching.</p>

+ <p>This directive specifies a string to be used along with the supplied
+ username (and realm in the case of Digest Authentication) in constructing
+ a cache key. This serves to disambiguate identical usernames serving
+ different authentication areas on the server.</p>
+ <p>Two special values for this are <code>directory</code>, which uses
+ the directory context of the request as a string, and <code>server</code>
+ which uses the virtual host name.</p>
+ <p>The default is <code>directory</code>, which is also the most
+ conservative setting. This is likely to be less than optimal, as it
+ (for example) causes <var>$app-base</var>, <var>$app-base/images</var>,
+ <var>$app-base/scripts</var> and <var>$app-base/media</var> each to
+ have its own separate cache key. A better policy is to name the
+ <code class="directive">AuthnCacheContext</code> for the password
+ provider: for example a <var>htpasswd</var> file or database table.</p>
+ <p>Contexts can be shared across different areas of a server, where
+ credentials are shared. However, this has potential to become a vector
+ for cross-site or cross-application security breaches, so this directive
+ is not permitted in <var>.htaccess</var> contexts.</p>

+ <p>Caching authentication data can be a security issue, though short-term
+ caching is unlikely to be a problem. Typically a good solution is to
+ cache credentials for as long as it takes to relieve the load on a
+ backend, but no longer, though if changes to your users and passwords
+ are infrequent then a longer timeout may suit you. The default 300
+ seconds (5 minutes) is both cautious and ample to keep the load
+ on a backend such as dbd (SQL database queries) down.</p>
+ <p>This should not be confused with session timeout, which is an
+ entirely separate issue. However, you may wish to check your
+ session-management software for whether cached credentials can
+ "accidentally" extend a session, and bear it in mind when setting
+ your timeout.</p>

+<h2><a name="intro" id="intro">Mise en cache des données d'authentification</a></h2>
+ <p>Certains utilisateurs qui mettent en oeuvre une authentification
+ lourde s'appuyant par exemple sur des requêtes SQL
+ (<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbd.html">mod_authn_dbd</a></code>) ont signalé une charge induite
+ inacceptable sur leur fournisseur d'authentification. Cela se
+ produit typiquement dans le cas où une page HTML contient des
+ centaines d'objets (images, scripts, pages de styles, media,
+ etc...), et où une requête pour cette page génère des centaines de
+ sous-requêtes à effet immédiat pour des contenus supplémentaires
+ authentifiés.</p>
+ <p>Pour résoudre ce problème, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_socache.html">mod_authn_socache</a></code> fournit une
+ solution qui permet de maintenir un cache des données
+ d'authentification.</p>
+</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h2><a name="usage" id="usage">Utilisation</a></h2>
+ <p>Le cache d'authentification doit être utilisé lorsque les
+ requêtes d'authentification induisent une charge significative sur le
+ serveur, le serveur d'arrière-plan ou le réseau. Cette mise en cache
+ n'apportera probablement aucune amélioration dans le cas d'une
+ authentification à base de fichier (<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code>)
+ ou de base de données dbm (<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbm.html">mod_authn_dbm</a></code>) car ces
+ méthodes sont de par leur conception rapides et légères (la mise en
+ cache peut cependant s'avérer utile dans le cas où le fichier est
+ situé sur un montage réseau). Les fournisseurs d'authentification
+ basés sur SQL ou LDAP ont plus de chances de tirer parti de cette
+ mise en cache, en particulier lorsqu'un problème de performances est
+ détecté. <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html">mod_authnz_ldap</a></code> gérant son propre cache,
+ seul <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbd.html">mod_authn_dbd</a></code> est concerné par notre sujet.</p>
+ <p>Les principales règles à appliquer pour la mise en cache sont :</p>
+ <ol><li>Inclure le fournisseur pour lequel vous voulez effectuer une
+ mise en cache dans une directive
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#authncacheprovidefor">AuthnCacheProvideFor</a></code>.</li>
+ <li>Mettre <var>socache</var> avant le fournisseur pour lequel
+ vous voulez effectuer une mise en cache dans votre directive
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></code>
+ ou <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html#authdigestprovider">AuthDigestProvider</a></code>.</li>
+ </ol>
+ <p>Voici un exemple simple permettant d'accélérer
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbd.html">mod_authn_dbd</a></code> et utilisant dbm comme moteur de la
+ mise en cache :</p>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config"> #AuthnCacheSOCache est optionnel. S'il est défini, il l'est pour
+ #l'ensemble du serveur
+AuthnCacheSOCache dbm
+&lt;Directory "/usr/www/myhost/private"&gt;
+ AuthType Basic
+ AuthName "Cached Authentication Example"
+ AuthBasicProvider socache dbd
+ AuthDBDUserPWQuery "SELECT password FROM authn WHERE user = %s"
+ AuthnCacheProvideFor dbd
+ Require valid-user
+ #Optionnel
+ AuthnCacheContext dbd-authn-example
+&lt;/Directory&gt;</pre>

+<h2><a name="dev" id="dev">La mise en cache avec les modules tiers</a></h2>
+ <p>Les développeurs de modules doivent savoir que la mise en cache
+ avec <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_socache.html">mod_authn_socache</a></code> doit être activée dans leurs modules. La
+ fonction de l'API <var>ap_authn_cache_store</var> permet de
+ mettre en cache les données d'authentification qu'un fournisseur
+ vient de rechercher ou de générer. Vous trouverez des exemples
+ d'utilisation à <a href="http://svn.eu.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&amp;revision=957072">r957072</a>, où trois fournisseurs authn sont activés pour la mise
+ en cache.</p>

+ construction d'une clé de cache. Ceci permet de lever l'ambiguïté
+ entre plusieurs noms d'utilisateurs identiques servant différentes
+ zones d'authentification sur le serveur.</p>
+ <p>Il y a deux valeurs spéciales pour le paramètre : <code>directory</code>,
+ qui utilise le contexte de répertoire de la requête comme chaîne, et
+ <code>server</code>, qui utilise le nom du serveur virtuel.</p>
+ <p>La valeur par défaut est <code>directory</code>, qui est aussi la
+ définition la plus courante. Ceci est cependant loin d'être optimal,
+ car par exemple, <var>$app-base</var>, <var>$app-base/images</var>,
+ <var>$app-base/scripts</var> et <var>$app-base/media</var>
+ possèderont chacun leur propre clé de cache. Il est préférable
+ d'utiliser le fournisseur de mot de passe : par exemple un fichier
+ <var>htpasswd</var> ou une table de base de données.</p>
+ <p>Les contextes peuvent être partagés entre différentes zones du
+ serveur, où les données d'authentification sont partagées. Ceci est
+ cependant susceptible de créer des trous de sécurité de type
+ cross-site ou cross-application, et cette directive n'est donc pas
+ disponible dans les contextes <var>.htaccess</var>.</p>

+ <p>La mise en cache des données d'authentification peut constituer
+ un trou de sécurité, bien qu'un mise en cache de courte durée ne
+ posera probablement pas de problème. En général, il est conseillé de
+ conserver les entrées du cache de façon à ce que la charge du serveur
+ d'arrière-plan reste normale, mais pas plus longtemps ;
+ une durée de vie plus longue peut être paramétrée si les
+ changements d'utilisateurs et de mots de passe sont peu fréquents.
+ La durée de vie par défaut de 300 secondes (5 minutes) est à la fois
+ raisonnable et suffisamment importante pour réduire la charge d'un
+ serveur d'arrière-plan comme dbd (requêtes SQL).</p>
+ <p>Cette durée de vie ne doit pas être confondue avec la durée de
+ vie de session qui est un tout autre sujet. Cependant, vous devez
+ utiliser votre logiciel de gestion de session pour vérifier si les
+ données d'authentification mises en cache peuvent allonger
+ accidentellement une session, et en tenir compte lorsque vous
+ définissez la durée de vie.</p>
