NAME

       Apache::Vhosts::Common - Lib for common operations in vhosts inventory

DESCRIPTION

       This package is meant to contain common functions used by OCS modules for Apache
       virtualhosts.

       For example, we could have two OCS modules:

       ApacheVhostsPackaged
           which would deal with packaged apache setups

       ApacheVhostsCompiled
           which would deal with compiled apache versions

       At different times, these modules still would need to do the same things, such as parsing
       apache configuration files, reading and extracting information from a vhost dump, reading
       a x509 certificate with openssl, ...

       To avoid code duplication, the specific modules can call the functions contained in this
       common package.

   Exports
       The module exports the following functions:

       "readVhostsDump"
       "readVhostConfFile"

   readVhostsDump()
       Return an array of hashes with the virtualhosts found thanks to Apache's vhosts dump
       ("httpd -S" command).

       Return type

       The function returns a reference to an array of hashes.

       Process

       The function's workflow is as follows:

       1.  Open "httpd -S" command output, with the current configuration file

       2.  Read dump line by line to match IP-based or name-based virtualhost information (both
           types of lines should be recognized):

            port 80 namevhost mynamevhost.fr (/etc/httpd/.../10-mynamevhost.conf:50)
            10.0.0.1:80 myvhost myipvhost.fr (/etc/httpd/.../20-myipvhost.conf:1)

       3.  Create a hash with the virtualhost's data

           We put the following attributes in it:

            (string) computedname, (int) port, (string) srvname,
            (string) vhostfile, (string) vhostline, (string) docroot, (bool) ssl

           At this stage we do not know docroot or ssl, so they are "/nonexistent" and false (0),
           respectively.

       4.  Push the vhost hash to the array.

       Return example

        [
          {
            'computedname' => "[httpd] myvhost.fr:80",
            'port' => 80,
            'srvname' => 'myvhost.fr',
            'vhostfile' => '/etc/httpd/conf.d/10-myvhost.conf',
            'vhostline' => 1,
            'docroot' => '/nonexistent',
            'ssl' => 0
          },
          {
            'computedname' => "[httpd] myvhost.fr:443",
            'port' => 443,
            'srvname' => 'myvhost.fr',
            'vhostfile' => '/etc/httpd/conf.d/10-myvhost.conf',
            'vhostline' => 20,
            'docroot' => '/nonexistent',
            'ssl' => 0
          }
        ]

       Calling

           my $vhosts = readVhostsDump($httpd_bin, $httpd_conf_file, $logger);

       Parameter: $httpd_bin (string)
           Path to the httpd binary to execute (for example: "/usr/sbin/httpd").  Specific
           options (such as "-D" parameters) may be added to the string.

       Parameter: $httpd_conf_file (string)
           Path to the main httpd configuration file (for example: "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf").

       Parameter: $logger (reference to OCS logger instance)
           To make use of OCS logging capabilities within the function.

   readVhostConfFile()
       Enhance a virtualhost's information with elements found when parsing the vhost's
       configuration file.

       Return type

       The function returns nothing.

       It only operates on the (referenced) vhost hash it got in parameter.

       Process

       The function must read the apache configuration file in which the vhost gets defined
       (<VirtualHost> block).

       The path to the particular configuration file and the line number of the vhost declaration
       are known in the "vhostfile" and "vhostline" attributes, thanks to the vhost dump.

       The function's process, for the given vhost, is as follows:

       1.  Open the configuration file at "vhostfile"

       2.  Read line by line, waiting to be at correct line number ("vhostline") to start
           searching for information.

       3.  Search for the following information in the <VirtualHost> and enhance the given vhost
           hash with:

           •   docroot (string)

               the value of the "DocumentRoot" directive

           •   ssl (bool)

               we turn it to true if we find a "SSLEngine on" directive

           •   sslcertpath (string)

               value of the "SSLCertificateFile" directive, if such a directive is present

       4.  File reading stops when we find the "</VirtualHost>" closing block (in case multiple
           vhosts are declared in the same configuration file).

       Calling

           foreach my $vhost (@$vhosts) # Generally
           {
               readVhostConfFile($vhost, $httpd_basedir);
           }

       Parameter: $vhost (reference to hash)
           The virtualhost hash to enhance.

       Parameter: $httpd_basedir (string)
           The path to base directory of httpd, in case we encounter a relative path in
           "SSLCertificateFile" and need to complete it.

           IMPORTANT: the given path is expected to end with a slash '/', for example:

               "/etc/httpd/"
