Source Code for the FrontPage Apache Module

When using the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions for UNIX with the Apache web server, the recommended configuration is to patch the Apache web server. The patch to the Apache web server consists of two modifications:

  • The FrontPage Apache module mod_frontpage.c, which intercepts remote requests from the FrontPage client programs, validates security, and redirects the request to the fpexe.c suid root stub program.
  • The fpexe.c program, which accepts authoring requests from the FrontPage Apache module, performs additional security validation, changes user ID to the owner of the Web site being authored, and then invokes the appropriate FrontPage Server Extensions CGI executable.

 

The source code to the FrontPage Apache module is presented here for review. This source code is also included in the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions for UNIX download kits suitable for compiling with customized builds of the Apache web server.
