Configuring mod_auth_sspi for localhost means you want to enable SSPI authentication for an Apache server running locally on your machine. This setup would typically be used for development or testing purposes, where you want to mimic the behavior of SSPI authentication on a Windows server without actually being connected to a domain controller.
Here's a basic example of how you might set up mod_auth_sspi for localhost:8080;
Ensure that mod_auth_sspi is enabled in your Apache server configuration. You can typically enable it by uncommenting or adding the following line in your httpd.conf file:
SSPIDomain is set to localhost, which is used to specify the domain for SSPI authentication. Since it's localhost, this is typically what you would set.
SSPIAuthoritative is set to On, which means that SSPI authentication is required and no other authentication methods will be attempted.
SSPIOfferBasic is set to On, which means that if SSPI authentication fails, Apache will offer basic authentication.
This configuration would prompt users to authenticate using their Windows credentials when accessing any resource served by your localhost Apache server. However, since it's localhost, it's worth noting that SSPI authentication may not work as expected if your Windows environment is not configured properly or if you're not connected to a domain controller.
