Hi Josh, The instructions on https://vcl.apache.org/docs/ldapauth.html apply to both LDAP and Active Directory authentication. With no previous experience working with LDAP, and I'm having trouble separating what applies to LDAP and Active Directory.
It would have been great to have specific steps just for AD similar to the format you gave me for the initial VCL installation in a single host, which was a breeze. However, questions I have are as follows: a.) For Active Directory authentication, do I still require to install an SSL certificate in my VCL Web Server? If yes, I should also install the same SSL cert on my Active Directory server? b.) As per https://vcl.apache.org/docs/ldapauth.html I have done *mysql vcl*, then *INSERT INTO affiliation (name) VALUES (‘UDB’);* - I got: *ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column '‘UDB’' in 'field list'* - I repeated the *INSERT INTO* command without *(name)* and got the same error Please assist on the above.
