Apache 2.0 Authentication LDAP
Hi Friends, I have recently migrated my webapp from tomcat 4.x to 6.0 . Please let me know how to set up Apache 2.0 for authentication(using LDAP) by connecting it with tomcat 6.0 . Please let me know the steps to be followed like changes in httpd.conf . I am using Linux server. Is there any settings need to be changed for linux server. Earlier i used sunOS. Regards, Arun.

What is exactly what should happen where ? I'll give you a possible scenario, and you tell us if this scenario is what you want to do, or tell us your own scenario, ok ? My scenario : Your configuration is such that all HTTP (browser) accesses go to Apache first. Apache does the authentication via LDAP (using for example mod_authnz_ldap) for any URLs that are protected (including the ones that go later to Tomcat). Than Apache decides which calls go to Tomcat (via a mod_jk connector or mod_proxy_ajp). mod_jk (and the Tomcat side of that connector) is configured so that the Apache authentication is passed on to Tomcat. Tomcat itself does not do authentication, but relies on the user-id passed on by Apache (and the roles defined in Tomcat) to access the Tomcat applications. re : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html re : Tomcat Connector, attribute tomcatAuthentication or something like that. - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just click on the link I provided in the previous answer. This is a help forum, and we do what we can. But people who ask for help are expected to at least make a little effort to read the available on-line documentation, which in this case is very good. Then try to set it up following the instructions. Then, if there is something you do not understand, you can always come back here with a precise question. Ok ?

I forgot to say that if your problem is related to the Apache httpd setup of LDAP, then you would be better off trying the Apache httpd support list. Issues related to Tomcat, and even to Apache/Tomcat connectors like mod_jk, will be handled here. But for issues directly related to Apache httpd and the LDAP authentication at the Apache httpd level, you will get better/faster answers at [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
