Unknown Authn provider: wsgi ... fail!

Question

I have working wsgi authentication on another server, however a second server is not accepting the same configuration and errors upon reload with the message:

Syntax error on line 12 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mydomain.com
Unknown Authn provider: wsgi
    ... fail

Here is the relevant portion of the config file (line 12 is WSGIAuthUserScript ...)

<Location /adirectory/>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Answer me these questions two"
    AuthBasicProvider wsgi
    WSGIAuthUserScript /home/auser/domains/mydomain.com/apache/auth_test.wsgi
    Require valid-user
</location>

WSGIPassAuthorization On

And the auth_test.wsgi file:

def check_password(environ, user, password):

    if user == 'someusername':
        if password == 'asecretpassword':
            return True
        return False

    return None

mod-wsgi.conf and mod-wsgi.load are both enabled. Of course there must be /something/ different, but I am at a loss.

Answer 1

It turned out to be a wsgi version difference.
