Fake Basic Auth

[Christian Felsing]

Sorry, does not what I need:

	proxy_pass  http://myapache:8000;
        rewrite_by_lua '
                ngx.var.remote_user = "user"
                ngx.var.remote_password = "secret"
        ';

This should fake a 401 login but I get

2013/08/26 20:11:11 [error] 19175#0: *2 lua entry thread aborted:
runtime error: [string "rewrite_by_lua"]:2: variable "remote_user" not
changeable
stack traceback:
coroutine 0:
	[C]: ?
	[string "rewrite_by_lua"]:2: in function <[string "rewrite_by_lua"]:1>,
client: 192.168.100.99, server: localhost, request: "GET /x.php
HTTP/1.1", host: "test.example.net"

Obviously Nginx does not like any changes on remote_user


in Apache
AuthBasicFake %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN} %{sha1:passphrase-%{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN}}
set remote_user to value passwd by SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN and a fake
password generated from SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN

I need something similar for nginx.

Christian
