Hi Tom, Thanks for mailing. Please find the code I do have for LDAP authentication in apache2.0.64,
<Directory */var/www/html*> AuthType Basic AuthName "Stooges Web Site: Login with email address" AuthLDAPEnabled on AuthLDAPURL ldaps://ldap.*your-domain*.com:636/o=stooges?mail AuthLDAPBindDN "cn=StoogeAdmin,o=stooges" AuthLDAPBindPassword *secret1* require valid-user </Directory> but I am failing to have additional features listed below to authentication like, -Search and Bind a user in LDAP by passing Group ID who can authorise any specific user belongs to the group -Redirecting the request if any user directly access url in application (if we can stop in this level) -Have a proper html login page to accept user name and password rather having simple windows dialog box. I thought to have the latest version to over come these problems, so I am trying to install apache 2.2.21 (stable version). May be I am not trying to install properly as failing to configure ldap module using configure script. Please give me the right steps or order I should be following to install Apache 2.2.21 successfully with ldap modules. This is the order I am trying to install apache 2.2.21: $ httpd2.2.21>apr> buildconf $ httpd2.2.21>apr> configure with apr lib $ httpd2.2.21>apr>make $ httpd2.2.21>apr>make install $ httpd2.2.21>apr-util> buildconf $ httpd2.2.21>apr-util> configure with apr-util lib $ httpd2.2.21>apr-util>make $ httpd2.2.21>aprutil>make install $ httpd2.2.21> buildconf $ httpd2.2.21> configure --prefix =Apache install folder --with-ldap $ httpd2.2.21> make $ httpd2.2.21> make install Regards, Muthu On 17 October 2011 16:48, Thomas Smith <theitsm...@gmail.com> wrote: > I did this using a <Directory> directive--you can put your LDAP auth stuff > there and apply it to the top-level file system directory of your > application.
