LDAP authentication

authentication using open ldap

[bearduk]

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure .htaccess to use LDAP for authentication, but I'm stuck at the first hurdle.

Does any one have experience of this or currently running it?

Do I need the following and if so, how do I go about installing them?

mm_mod_auth_ldap.so
auth_ldap

I'm not sure if I need to recompile httpd or is it possible to simply include the them as modules?

I've been running apache for a while now, but adding modules is a new one for me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

If the mm_mod_auth_ldap.so file isn't present in the filesystem, then you'll need to re-compile.

If it is present, but isn't loaded, then you'll need to load it. However, the changes to load ldap.so will be in a server config file -- you can't do it from .htaccess.

I haven't used LDAP, these are just basic pointers...

The Apache HTTP Server provides ldap authentication support as well, see mod_authnz_ldap [httpd.apache.org].
