Good morning, Hoping to join to right forum, I please would like to describe how I configured apache/openldap on my linux box in order to get your suggestion and verify if it could be the clever way or not.
Customer asked me to protect via basic-authentication/mod_ldap a site, where users that can access have to be validated into two different ldap repository depending on the user type: - If the user is in "flat" format, like "Surname Name", it has to be checked on an active directory - if the user is in "e-mail" format, like [EMAIL PROTECTED], it has to be checked on an Ibm ldap server In both cases, the given username is the first part of a bind DN, so it can directly used to bind on ldap (other OU and suffix after "cn=xxxxx," are not the same on both ldap) In order to solve that, I configured an ldap server, where apache mod-ldap points to; this ldap server, via back-meta and regular expression, then contacts the right ldap and authenticate. Do you think it could be the right approach to the problem?
