 …
 == The `trac.wsgi` script
+Trac can be run on top of mod_wsgi with the help of the following application script, which is just a Python file, though usually saved with a `.wsgi` extension).
+Trac can be run on top of mod_wsgi with the help of an application script, which is a Python file saved with a `.wsgi` extension.
+A robust and generic version of this file can be created using the `trac-admin <env> deploy <dir>` command which automatically substitutes the required paths, see TracInstall#cgi-bin. The script should be sufficient for most installations and users not wanting more information can proceed to [#Mappingrequeststothescript configuring Apache].
+If you are using Trac with multiple projects, you can specify their common parent directory using the `TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR` in trac.wsgi (note that this directory should contain //only// Trac environments, no other sub-directories):
+{{{#!python
+def application(environ, start_request):
+    # Add this to config when you have multiple projects
+    environ.setdefault('trac.env_parent_dir', '/usr/share/trac/projects')
+    ..
+}}}
 === A very basic script
 In its simplest form, the script could be:
 …
 }}}
+The `TRAC_ENV` variable should naturally be the directory for your Trac environment (if you have several Trac environments in a directory, you can also use `TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR` instead), while the `PYTHON_EGG_CACHE` should be a directory where Python can temporarily extract Python eggs.
+The `TRAC_ENV` variable should naturally be the directory for your Trac environment, and the `PYTHON_EGG_CACHE` should be a directory where Python can temporarily extract Python eggs. If you have several Trac environments in a directory, you can also use `TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR` instead of `TRAC_ENV`.
+On Windows:
+ - If run under the user's session, the Python Egg cache can be found in `%AppData%\Roaming`, for example:
+{{{#!python
+os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = r'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Python-Eggs'
+}}}
+ - If run under a Window service, you should create a directory for Python Egg cache:
+{{{#!python
+os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = r'C:\Trac-Python-Eggs'
+}}}
 === A more elaborate script
 If you're using multiple `.wsgi` files (for example one per Trac environment) you must ''not'' use `os.environ['TRAC_ENV']` to set the path to the Trac environment. Using this method may lead to Trac delivering the content of another Trac environment, as the variable may be filled with the path of a previously viewed Trac environment.

Using this method may lead to Trac delivering the content of another Trac environment, as the variable may be filled with the path of a previously viewed Trac environment.
 To solve this problem, use the following `.wsgi` file instead:
 …
 For clarity, you should give this file a `.wsgi` extension. You should probably put the file in its own directory, since you will expose it to Apache.
 If you have installed Trac and eggs in a path different from the standard one you should add that path by adding the following code at the top of the wsgi script:

-A somewhat robust and generic version of this file can be created using the `trac-admin <env> deploy <dir>` command which automatically substitutes the required paths (see TracInstall#cgi-bin).
 == Mapping requests to the script
 After you've done preparing your .wsgi script, add the following to your Apache configuration file (`httpd.conf` for example).
 {{{
+After preparing your .wsgi script, add the following to your Apache configuration file, typically `httpd.conf`:
+{{{#!apache
 WSGIScriptAlias /trac /usr/local/trac/mysite/apache/mysite.wsgi
 <Directory /usr/local/trac/mysite/apache>
     WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
+    Order deny,allow
+    Allow from all
+    # For Apache 2.2
+    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
+        Order deny,allow
+        Allow from all
+    </IfModule>
+    # For Apache 2.4
+    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
+        Require all granted
+    </IfModule>
 </Directory>
 }}}
 …
 Here, the script is in a subdirectory of the Trac environment.
 If you followed the directions [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInstall#cgi-bin Generating the Trac cgi-bin directory], your Apache configuration file should look like following:
 {{{
+If you followed the directions [TracInstall#cgi-bin Generating the Trac cgi-bin directory], your Apache configuration file should look like following:

+    # For Apache 2.4
+    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
+        Require all granted
+    </IfModule>
 </Directory>
 }}}
 In order to let Apache run the script, access to the directory in which the script resides is opened up to all of Apache. Additionally, the `WSGIApplicationGroup` directive ensures that Trac is always run in the first Python interpreter created by mod_wsgi; this is necessary because the Subversion Python bindings, which are used by Trac, don't always work in other sub-interpreters and may cause requests to hang or cause Apache to crash as a result. After adding this configuration, restart Apache, and then it should work.
 To test the setup of Apache, mod_wsgi and Python itself (ie. without involving Trac and dependencies), this simple wsgi application can be used to make sure that requests gets served (use as only content in your `.wsgi` script):

 == Configuring Authentication
+We describe in the the following sections different methods for setting up authentication.
+See also [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html Authentication, Authorization and Access Control] in the Apache guide.
+=== Using Basic Authentication ===
+The simplest way to enable authentication with Apache is to create a password file. Use the `htpasswd` program to create the password file:

+The following sections describe different methods for setting up authentication. See also [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/auth.html Authentication, Authorization and Access Control] in the Apache guide.
+=== Using Basic Authentication
+The simplest way to enable authentication with Apache is to create a password file. Use the `htpasswd` program as follows:
+{{{#!sh
 $ htpasswd -c /somewhere/trac.htpasswd admin
 New password: <type password>
 …
 }}}
 After the first user, you dont need the "-c" option anymore:
 {{{
+After the first user, you don't need the "-c" option anymore:

 $ htpasswd /somewhere/trac.htpasswd john
 New password: <type password>
 …
 }}}
+  ''See the man page for `htpasswd` for full documentation.''
+See the man page for `htpasswd` for full documentation.
 After you've created the users, you can set their permissions using TracPermissions.
 Now, you'll need to enable authentication against the password file in the Apache configuration:
 {{{
+Now, you need to enable authentication against the password file in the Apache configuration:
+{{{#!apache
 <Location "/trac/login">
   AuthType Basic
 …
 }}}
 If you're hosting multiple projects you can use the same password file for all of them:
 {{{
+If you are hosting multiple projects, you can use the same password file for all of them:
+{{{#!apache
 <LocationMatch "/trac/[^/]+/login">
   AuthType Basic
 …
 </LocationMatch>
 }}}
+Note that neither a file nor a directory named 'login' needs to exist.[[BR]]
 See also the [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_auth_basic.html mod_auth_basic] documentation.
 === Using Digest Authentication ===
 For better security, it is recommended that you either enable SSL or at least use the “digest” authentication scheme instead of “Basic”.
 You'll have to create your `.htpasswd` file with the `htdigest` command instead of `htpasswd`, as follows:
 {{{
 # htdigest -c /somewhere/trac.htpasswd trac admin
+Note that neither a file nor a directory named 'login' needs to exist. See also the [https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_auth_basic.html mod_auth_basic] documentation.

+You have to create your `.htpasswd` file with the `htdigest` command instead of `htpasswd`, as follows:
+{{{#!sh
+$ htdigest -c /somewhere/trac.htpasswd trac admin
 }}}
 The "trac" parameter above is the "realm", and will have to be reused in the Apache configuration in the !AuthName directive:
 {{{
+{{{#!apache
 <Location "/trac/login">
+    AuthType Digest
+    AuthName "trac"
+    AuthDigestDomain /trac
+    AuthUserFile /somewhere/trac.htpasswd
+    Require valid-user
+  AuthType Digest
+  AuthName "trac"
+  AuthDigestDomain /trac
+  AuthUserFile /somewhere/trac.htpasswd
+  Require valid-user
 </Location>
 }}}
 …
 For multiple environments, you can use the same `LocationMatch` as described with the previous method.
+'''Note''': `Location` cannot be used inside .htaccess files, but must instead live within the main httpd.conf file. If you are on a shared server, you therefore will not be able to provide this level of granularity.
 Don't forget to activate the mod_auth_digest. For example, on a Debian 4.0r1 (etch) system:
+{{{
+    LoadModule auth_digest_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_auth_digest.so
+}}}
+See also the [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_auth_digest.html mod_auth_digest] documentation.
+{{{#!apache
+  LoadModule auth_digest_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_auth_digest.so
+}}}
+See also the [https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_auth_basic.html mod_auth_digest] documentation.
 === Using LDAP Authentication
+Configuration for [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ldap.html mod_ldap] authentication in Apache is a bit tricky (httpd 2.2.x and OpenLDAP: slapd 2.3.19)
+. You need to load the following modules in Apache httpd.conf
+{{{
+LoadModule ldap_module modules/mod_ldap.so
+LoadModule authnz_ldap_module modules/mod_authnz_ldap.so
+}}}
+. Your httpd.conf also needs to look something like:
+{{{
+Configuration for [https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_ldap.html mod_ldap] authentication in Apache is more involved (httpd 2.2+ and OpenLDAP: slapd 2.3.19).

+{{{#!apache
+  LoadModule ldap_module modules/mod_ldap.so
+  LoadModule authnz_ldap_module modules/mod_authnz_ldap.so
+}}}
+. Your httpd.conf also needs to look something like:
+{{{#!apache
 <Location /trac/>
   # (if you're using it, mod_python specific settings go here)
 …
 </Location>
 }}}
+. You can use the LDAP interface as a way to authenticate to a Microsoft Active Directory:
+Use the following as your LDAP URL:
+{{{
+    AuthLDAPURL "ldap://directory.example.com:3268/DC=example,DC=com?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=user)"
+}}}
+You will also need to provide an account for Apache to use when checking
+credentials. As this password will be listed in plaintext in the
+config, you should be sure to use an account specifically for this task:
+{{{
+    AuthLDAPBindDN ldap-auth-user@example.com
+    AuthLDAPBindPassword "password"
+}}}
+The whole section looks like:
+{{{

+  Require ldap-group CN=Trac Users,CN=Users,DC=company,DC=com
 </Location>
 }}}
+Note 1: This is the case where the LDAP search will get around the multiple OUs, conecting to Global Catalog Server portion of AD (Notice the port is 3268, not the normal LDAP 389). The GCS is basically a "flattened" tree which allows searching for a user without knowing to which OU they belong.
+Note 2: You can also require the user be a member of a certain LDAP group, instead of
+just having a valid login:
+{{{

 === Using SSPI Authentication
+If you are using Apache on Windows, you can use mod_auth_sspi to provide
+single-sign-on. Download the module from the !SourceForge [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-auth-sspi/ mod-auth-sspi project] and then add the
+following to your !VirtualHost:
+{{{
+    <Location /trac/login>
+        AuthType SSPI
+        AuthName "Trac Login"
+        SSPIAuth On
+        SSPIAuthoritative On
+        SSPIDomain MyLocalDomain
+        SSPIOfferBasic On
+        SSPIOmitDomain Off
+        SSPIBasicPreferred On
+        Require valid-user
+    </Location>
+}}}
+Using the above, usernames in Trac will be of the form `DOMAIN\username`, so
+you may have to re-add permissions and such. If you do not want the domain to
+be part of the username, set `SSPIOmitDomain On` instead.
+If you are using Apache on Windows, you can use mod_auth_sspi to provide single-sign-on. Download the module from the !SourceForge [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-auth-sspi/ mod-auth-sspi project] and then add the following to your !VirtualHost:
+{{{#!apache
+<Location /trac/login>
+  AuthType SSPI
+  AuthName "Trac Login"
+  SSPIAuth On
+  SSPIAuthoritative On
+  SSPIDomain MyLocalDomain
+  SSPIOfferBasic On
+  SSPIOmitDomain Off
+  SSPIBasicPreferred On
+  Require valid-user
+</Location>
+}}}
+Using the above, usernames in Trac will be of the form `DOMAIN\username`, so you may have to re-add permissions and such. If you do not want the domain to be part of the username, set `SSPIOmitDomain On` instead.
 Some common problems with SSPI authentication: [trac:#1055], [trac:#1168] and [trac:#3338].
 …
 See also [trac:TracOnWindows/Advanced].
+=== Using Apache authentication with the Account Manager plugin's Login form ===
+To begin with, see the basic instructions for using the Account Manager plugin's [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#LoginModule Login module] and its [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AccountManagerPlugin/AuthStores#HttpAuthStore HttpAuthStore authentication module].
+'''Note:''' If is difficult to get !HttpAuthStore to work with WSGI when using any Account Manager version prior to acct_mgr-0.4. Upgrading is recommended.
+Here is an example (from the !HttpAuthStore link) using acct_mgr-0.4 for hosting a single project:
+{{{
+[components]
+; be sure to enable the component
+acct_mgr.http.HttpAuthStore = enabled
+[account-manager]
+; configure the plugin to use a page that is secured with http authentication
+authentication_url = /authFile
+password_store = HttpAuthStore
+}}}
+This will generally be matched with an Apache config like:
+{{{
+<Location /authFile>
+   …HTTP authentication configuration…
+   Require valid-user
+</Location>
+}}}
+Note that '''authFile''' need not exist. See the !HttpAuthStore link above for examples where multiple Trac projects are hosted on a server.
+=== Using CA !SiteMinder Authentication
+Setup CA !SiteMinder to protect your Trac login URL, for example `/trac/login`. Also, make sure the policy is set to include the HTTP_REMOTE_USER variable. If your site allows it, you can set this in `LocalConfig.conf`:
+{{{#!apache
+RemoteUserVar="WHATEVER_IT_SHOULD_BE"
+SetRemoteUser="YES"
+}}}
+The specific variable is site-dependent. Ask your site administrator. If your site does not allow the use of `LocalConfig.conf` for security reasons, have your site administrator set the policy on the server to set REMOTE_USER.
+Also add a !LogOffUri parameter to the agent configuration, for example `/trac/logout`.
+Then modify the trac.wsgi script generated using `trac-admin <env> deploy <dir>` to add the following lines, which extract the `HTTP_REMOTE_USER` variable and set it to `REMOTE_USER`:
+{{{#!python
+def application(environ, start_request):
+    # Set authenticated username on CA SiteMinder to REMOTE_USER variable
+    # strip() is used to remove any spaces on the end of the string
+    if 'HTTP_SM_USER' in environ:
+        environ['REMOTE_USER'] = environ['HTTP_REMOTE_USER'].strip()
+    ...
+}}}
+You do not need any Apache "Location" directives.
 === Example: Apache/mod_wsgi with Basic Authentication, Trac being at the root of a virtual host
+Per the mod_wsgi documentation linked to above, here is an example Apache configuration that a) serves the Trac instance from a virtualhost subdomain and b) uses Apache basic authentication for Trac authentication.
+If you want your Trac to be served from e.g. !http://trac.my-proj.my-site.org, then from the folder e.g. `/home/trac-for-my-proj`, if you used the command `trac-admin the-env initenv` to create a folder `the-env`, and you used `trac-admin the-env deploy the-deploy` to create a folder `the-deploy`, then first:

 == Troubleshooting
 …
 === Use a recent version
+Please use either version 1.6, 2.4 or later of `mod_wsgi`. Versions prior to 2.4 in the 2.X branch have problems with some Apache configurations that use WSGI file wrapper extension. This extension is used in Trac to serve up attachments and static media files such as style sheets. If you are affected by this problem attachments will appear to be empty and formatting of HTML pages will appear not to work due to style sheet files not loading properly. Another frequent symptom is that binary attachment downloads are truncated. See mod_wsgi tickets [http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/issues/detail?id=100 #100] and [http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/issues/detail?id=132 #132].
+''Note: using mod_wsgi 2.5 and Python 2.6.1 gave an Internal Server Error on my system (Apache 2.2.11 and Trac 0.11.2.1). Upgrading to Python 2.6.2 (as suggested [http://www.mail-archive.com/modwsgi@googlegroups.com/msg01917.html here]) solved this for me[[BR]]-- Graham Shanks''
+If you plan to use `mod_wsgi` in embedded mode on Windows or with the MPM worker on Linux, then you'll even need version 0.3.4 or greater (see [trac:#10675] for details).
+=== Getting Trac to work nicely with SSPI and 'Require Group' ===
+If like me you've set Trac up on Apache, Win32 and configured SSPI, but added a 'Require group' option to your apache configuration, then the SSPIOmitDomain option is probably not working.  If its not working your usernames in trac are probably looking like 'DOMAIN\user' rather than 'user'.

+=== Trac with PostgreSQL ===
+When using the mod_wsgi adapter with multiple Trac instances and PostgreSQL (or MySQL?) as a database back-end, the server ''may'' create a lot of open database connections and thus PostgreSQL processes.
+A somewhat brutal workaround is to disabled connection pooling in Trac. This is done by setting `poolable = False` in `trac.db.postgres_backend` on the `PostgreSQLConnection` class.
+But it's not necessary to edit the source of Trac, the following lines in `trac.wsgi` will also work:

+If python optimizations are enabled, then headers and footers will not be rendered. An error will be raised in Trac 1.0.11 and later when optimizations are enabled.
+In your WSGI configuration file, the `WSGIPythonOptimize` setting must be set to `0` (`1` or `2` will not work):
+{{{#!apache
+    WSGIPythonOptimize 0
+}}}
+On Ubuntu, the WSGI mod configuration is at `/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/wsgi.conf`.
+The same issue is seen with `PythonOptimize On` in [TracModPython#Pagelayoutissues ModPython].
