The cross-domain policy that is served is +specified via a configuration option 'FSPPolicyFile'. + +If a flash application sends a policy file request to an Apache server +that has enabled and configured the mod_fsp module over its HTTP port, +then the configured cross-domain policy will be returned as the response. + +======== +Building +======== + +To build the mod_fsp source code you can use Apache2's module +build and installation tool: 'apxs2' which is, at the time of +this writing, available on debian in the package: + +apache2-threaded-dev + +To compile mod_fsp you would run the following command: + +apxs2 -c mod_fsp.c + +============ +Installation +============ + +To install mod_fsp you the following command as root: + +apxs2 -c -i -a mod_fsp.c + +You must then restart your apache2 process, typically like so: + +/etc/init.d/apache2 restart + +=================== +Manual Installation +=================== + +To manually enable mod_dsp on your Apache2 server, you must copy the +module file to the appropriate directory and create a load file. + +The module file: + +fsp.so (The library extension may vary if you are not using linux). + +Must be copied to Apache's module installation directory which is +typically located (on a debian system): + +/usr/lib/apache2/modules + +The load file: + +fsp.load + +Must be created in Apache2's 'mods-available' directory, typically +located (on a debian system): + +/etc/apache2/mods-available + +The load file should contain: + +LoadModule fsp_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fsp.so + +If your Apache module installation directory is different from +the one listed above, you will need to set the correct one in the +fsp.load file. + +To actually enable the module you must create a symbolic link in +Apache's 'mods-enabled' directory, typically located (on debian): + +/etc/apache2/mods-enabled + +By typing (from that directory): + +ln -s ../mods-available/fsp.load fsp.load + +============= +Configuration +============= + +Once mod_fsp is installed, it must be configured. There is currently +only one configuration option for mod_fsp: 'FSPPolicyFile'. This +configuration option will set the file that mod_fsp will look in +on apache startup for the cross-domain policy to serve. This option +can be provided on a per-port basis. Each port can use a different +one, but VirtualServers on a single port will use the same one. This +is a limitation of the design by Adobe. + +Note: The cross-domain policy may fail to be served if the configuration +option isn't added in the first VirtualHost entry (for a given port) read +by Apache. + +An example of this configuration in use: + +<VirtualHost *:80> + ServerName example.com + DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com + ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/example.com-error.log + CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.com-access.log vhost_combined + + # mod_fsp config option + FSPPolicyFile /etc/apache2/crossdomain/crossdomain.xml + + <Directory /var/www/example.com> + Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews + AllowOverride All + Order allow,deny + allow from all + </Directory> + +</VirtualHost> + +And example of the most permissive cross-domain policy file for flash: + +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> +<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM +"http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"> +<cross-domain-policy> +<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/> +<allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*"/> +<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*"/> +</cross-domain-policy> + +================== +Note about SSL/TLS +================== + +Flash currently has no built-in SSL/TLS support so there is no +reason to specify an 'FSPPolicyFile' option for SSL servers. The +Flash player cannot directly communicate with them when doing +internal look ups of policy files. |
