           Summary: require ldap-group or ldap-user with AuthnProviderAlias
                    is not ok
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.6
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: mod_authn_ldap
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: frederic.saintmarcel@inrialpes.fr


I have two example of .htaccess configuration

for this one is OK :

AuthName "test"
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthLDAPURL ldap://xxx/ou=people,dc=xxx,dc=fr
Require ldap-group cn=xxx,ou=groups,dc=xxx,dc=fr 

for this one is not OK with a provider alias

<AuthnProviderAlias ldap ldap-test>
   AuthLDAPURL ldap://xxx/ou=people,dc=xxx,dc=fr 
</AuthnProviderAlias> 

AuthName "test"
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap-test
Require ldap-group cn=xxx,ou=groups,dc=xxx,dc=fr 

It seems that the authentification is not ok with a decalaration of provider
alias for a group or a user (with require valid-user its OK for two configuration)

Thanks in advance.

------- Additional Comments From bnicholes@apache.org  2008-02-06 16:44 -------
This is actually working as designed.  Authentication and autorization are two 
different functions.  Since the LDAP URL was specified in an 
<AuthnProviderAlias> section, the directives in that section only apply to 
authentication or Authn.  They do not apply to authorization or authz.  
Therefore, an LDAP URL still needs to be defined if the authorization 
functionality requires it such as in an 'require ldap-group xxx' situation.  
The unfortunate thing is that this is not intuitive in apache 2.2. It will 
make a little more sense in Apache 2.4 when the directive section 
<RequireAlias ... > is introduced.  This will allow both the authentication 
and authorization functionality to be independently configured with separate 
LDAP information if desired.  An equivalent <RequireAlias> would appear as:

<RequireAlias ldap-group my-ldap-group cn=xxx,ou=groups,dc=xxx,dc=fr>
   AuthLDAPURL ldap://xxx/ou=people,dc=xxx,dc=fr 
   ...
</RequireAlias>

<Directory ..>
   ...
   Require my-ldap-group
</Directory>
