PHP-FPM virtual host setups

We have received new feedback from users dealing with this issue with correct login and passwords.

Apparently Apache strips the authorization header for security reasons and you need to pass basic auth to your FPM proxy.

Solution:

This is an Apache issue.

Edit your vhost configuration depending on your distro. Usual paths:

• Debian, Ubuntu: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
• CentOS, Fedora, Redhat: /etc/httpd/conf.d/

You will need to add this parameter to your GLPI virtual host configuration file:

SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
