[users@httpd] apache 2.0.49 mod_auth_ldap frontpagehack broken

[Thorsten von Eicken <Th...@citrix.com>]

I'm trying to get mod_auth_ldap working with the frontpage hack. Unfortunately the build process seems to break the hack. The point of the hack is to have the auth_ldap module defer to mod_auth in the case of a "require valid-user" if the user exists in LDAP so that mod_auth can verify that the user also exists in the AuthUserFile.

This deferral requires that mod_auth_ldap be hooked such that it processes requests before mod_auth gets them. I configured apache using --enable-auth-ldap (and the other options to enable ldap support) and the result is that mod_auth gets all requests *before* mod_auth_ldap, so the frontpage hack doesn't work. How do I switch the order of the two modules when they're compiled-in?

Thanks for any help!

I can be wrong, but in Apache 2 the order should not matter, because the
modules themselves are supposed to declare their "dependencies". To my
knowledge, you cannot control this by configuration.

This is not an authorative answer, but the only way I can think of is making
them as shared objects and use LoadModule in the correct order. Is that
problem?
