AJP Authentication expects that requests are pre-authenticated via an external server before arriving at FishEye.

Typically, this would be a web server (e.g. apache) configured to perform password and role checking for a given URL. If successful the server forwards the request to the FishEye server via the AJPv13 protocol.

For FishEye to use AJP authentication the following two values must be configured:

• The AJP Bind Address must be set per FishEye instance. See also Server Settings
• The users Auth Type must be set to 'ajp'.

Here is one example of how to configure Apache Httpd so that all requests to Apache Httpd for the path /fisheye are forwarded to a FishEye instance on the same machine with an AJP Bind Address of localhost:8009.

Add these lines to your apache configuration:

LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
JkWorkersFile /path/to/workers.properties
JkLogFile /var/log/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel debug
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
JkMount /fisheye/* worker1

Then create a file under /path/to/workers.properties and add:

worker.list=worker1
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.host=localhost
worker.worker1.port=8009
