Re: [mod-security-users] Custom Headers

[Alexandre S. <ale...@gm...>]

Bonjour,
( Same, no nginx good knowledge, no modsecv3 usage. )
There is a less dirty trick for apache/modsecv2.
Playing with apache hook mechanisms.
Consider testing around that sample:
# set header in early hook: before modsec phase:2
RequestHeader set  "X-CLIENT-I-DN-CN" "%{SSL_CLIENT_I_DN_CN}s" early
# remove if null
RequestHeader edit "X-CLIENT-I-DN-CN" "\(null\)" "" early
# use in modsec phase:2 hook. If ok, maybe do some ctl combo, skipafter,
setvar, deny if not the one desired...
# debug on : SecAction
"id:1234,phase:2,nolog,noauditlog,ctl:debuglogLevel=9,pass"
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:X-CLIENT-I-DN-CN "@rx .*" \
"id:666,\
phase:2,\
pass,\
log,noauditlog,\
msg:'found X-CLIENT-I-DN-CN is %{MATCHED_VAR}',\
setenv:DNCN=%{MATCHED_VAR}"
# debug off:  SecAction "id:4321,phase:2,ctl:debuglogLevel=0,pass"
# header is no more needed
RequestHeader unset "X-CLIENT-I-DN-CN"
LogFormat "[whatever your logformat is] [%{DNCN}e]" vhost_common

br,
Alexandre.
