[users@httpd] LDAP Authentication

[Kevin A Sesock/cis/evp/Okstate <se...@okstate.edu>]

Greetings all:

I hate to bother everyone here, with what will probably end up being a 
trivial and minor issue, but I must admit, I am at my wit's end.

After spending the last several days attempting to get mod_auth_ldap to 
work with a badly managed NDS LDAP server, I finally found a work around, 
in that we also have an LDAP server with 1 level, for purposes similar to 
what I'm doing (We call it the workforce tree).

Unfortunately, I can't get to the authentication page anymore. I keep 
receiving Server 500 errors. My error.log file looks like this:

/webaim/* is what I'm attempting to protect.

[Fri Jan 17 14:38:25 2003] [notice] Child 2468: All worker threads have 
exited.
[Fri Jan 17 14:38:25 2003] [notice] Child 2468: Child process is exiting
[Fri Jan 17 14:38:26 2003] [crit] [client 139.78.31.20] configuration 
error:  couldn't check user.  No user file?: /webaim/index.htm, referer: http://webaim2.su.okstate.edu/

After corresponding with Muquit, of mod_auth_ldap fame, he determined that 
any further problems were simply misconfigurations elsewhere, unrelated to 
the mod. I'm still not sure, and am unable to find any archives that 
express a similar issue.

Thank you for your assistance.

[users@httpd] mutiple passwd files for AuthUserFile?

[Xiongfei Wang <wa...@arches.uga.edu>]

in .htaccess i have code as following 

--------------------------
AuthType Basic
AuthName "/var/www/apidb-dev"
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/etc/passwd    #1
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/etc/passwd.apidb-dev #2
------------------------------

My purpose is to store user in two password files, passwd contain users
who can access serverl virtual websites and passwd.apidb-dev only contains
user who can only access one (current website). but it seems that this way
does not work. the result of this config is only user in passwd.apidb-dev
can access current website. Is there a way to set up multiple passed files
for AuthUserFile?

Thanks

This is because you have mod_auth enabled.  Either disable it from your
build, or turn AuthAuthoritative Off so it will pass on the opportunity
to authenticate to other modules.

I tend to prefer not compiling in or loading auth handlers that I am not
using.
