Is there any module for Apache that will help in performing
authentication/authorization on web services using an Active Directory
"registry"? In our environment, when a user logs into their Windows workstation
through Active Directory, I understand they are given a Kerberos ticket. I
understand that there is a way for this ticket to be passed (through client
application code, sent with a URL) to the Apache server module that is
providing the service used by the user. I understand that there should be a way
to use that ticket to 1) ensure that the user is who they say they are; 2)
check to see if the user is in the group (arbitrary) that is allowed to come to
this application. I've also been told that using LDAP to go to Active Directory
is the right way to do the server side (Linux based) functions, while the
Windows environment has their own way to put the client side together.
Is there an example of how do do this somewhere in C code?
What packages need to be installed on the server?
Is there sample client code?
