what is the current fedora equivalent to apache's mod_auth_tkt module?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  where does one find the mod_auth_tkt module for apache in current
fedora? or has it been subsumed into something else?

AFAIK this was never updated upstream for Apache httpd 2.4.

You could probably use mod_session (maybe with mod_auth_form) to
provide similar functionality.

  i was starting to suspect something like that, i just didn't see it
explicitly written down anywhere.

  has anyone gone through that "migration"? i just want to verify that
i can move on from mod_auth_tkt if there is something supported by 2.4
that is effectively equivalent. thanks.

Every migration I've seen is going from something like this to a much
more sophisicated solution. (See e.g., mod_auth_mellon, ipsilon, and
FreeIPA). That may be overkill for your needs, or it might be the right
thing.

  obvious question ... if it *is* overkill, what are the options to
dial it back? as you suggested, perhaps just using some combination of
the current modules, like mod_session, etc?

  just to explain what's happening here, i'm helping duplicate a
system currently based on centos 7 to using openembedded/yocto project
to build an equivalent system for a powerpc target, so there's a good
deal going on along the lines of, "hmmmmmm, what OE/YP recipe
buildable for powerpc will give me the equivalent of each of those
800+ centos rpms currently running on x86?" good times, good times.

  most of the software has been reproduced using some combination of
OE/YP recipes, but occasionally, i run into something that was being
used on the centos system -- mod_auth_tkt -- that is not available as
an OE recipe, so i have to figure out what to do about it.

  in this case, since that module is apparently not supported for
apache 2.4, i have to decide to either write a recipe for it, or
replace it with some current equivalent. just thought you might find
the backstory useful.

 in any event, now i just have to decide which way to jump.
