Authentication Blues

[Jeremy Russell]

Wait, is there some way I can use a form to get credentials and then silently pass them to the apache auth popup window?  That would work probably.

Weird! That's the same module I'm using, and compiled it as a shared module, just as you.  Well  I had to statically link glibc because I'm running Solaris and the /usr/ccs/bin/ld doesn't get along well with glib.  But it works; it just doesn't populate the REMOTE_USER var for me...  At least I don't think it did, maybe it did and I'm smoking crack! :)   Anyways, that works fine, I just and dreaming big I guess about Single Sign On, :)

It does work, I am smoking crack.  I just didn't have my .htaccess in the directory for nagios.  I had it in a separate dir trying to emulate Single Sign On.  

However, I'm still searching. :)  Somebody has had to do it at some point in time!  Anyways, if v3 comes out in php like it is being talked about, my methods may be quite useful!

Thanks.

single sign on is a dream of every admin ...
but maybe someday it'll come true ;)

i'm using the actual version from muquit.com (2.4.1)
http://www.muquit.com/muquit/software/mod_auth_ldap/mod_auth_ldap.tar.gz
i didn't include it as a static compiled mod to my apache because i
had some trouble with it this way..

i've made a dso for apache just like it was mentioned on the website:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lldap -llber -i -a -c mod_auth_ldap.c

and everything worked out as expected :)

here's how i've proteced the directory ... taken from the virtualhost
context:

...
<Directory  "/usr/local/nagios" >
        AuthName "Nagios... plese authenticate "
        AuthType Basic
        LDAP_Server 127.0.0.1 #<--- running stunnel to the nds
        LDAP_Port 14000  #<--- running stunnel to the nds
        Base_DN "o=sskm"
        UID_Attr cn
        require valid-user
        Options None
        AllowOverride All
</Directory>

hope that helps
