Apache::AuthenSmb on Windows

[cramirez <cr...@gte.net>]

Has anyone been able to use Apache::AuthenSmb on Windows? I'm trying to 
setup our UNIX Apache environment on a Windows box, but I'm having 
trouble compiling Authen::Smb.  Actually, a better question might be, 
does anyone have any ideas on the best approach of  implementing  web 
authentication against a Windows domain on a windows system using 
Apache?  Is Authen::Smb the best approach? I don't think AuthenNTLM 
would work since UNIX users wouldn't be able to authenticate right??

Thanks,

-Carlos

Not true.  You can specify AuthType ntlm, basic, so that all non-IE 
browsers can authenticate against your samba server.  (I can auth 
against samba 3.0.0 with the following config:

        client NTLMv2 auth = Yes
        client lanman auth = No
        client plaintext auth = No

)  I can't test against a windows machine though :(
