Hi. I have a virtual host, that is configured with ldap authentication, and this works well. The problem is that internal calls on the server to the virtual host now require authentication as well. How can I excluded localhost and selected sources from authentication so that back-end processes don't require authentication ? My current virtualhost configuration is as follows : <VirtualHost 10.1.32.22:80> SuexecUserGroup "#1010" "#1010" ServerName amp-mysql.domain.com ServerAlias amp-mysql ServerAlias admin.amp-mysql.domain.com DocumentRoot /home/amp-mysql/public_html ErrorLog /var/log/virtualmin/amp-mysql.domain.com_error_log CustomLog /var/log/virtualmin/amp-mysql.domain.com_access_log combined ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/amp-mysql/cgi-bin/ ScriptAlias /awstats/ /home/amp-mysql/cgi-bin/ DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.php4 index.php5 <Directory /home/amp-mysql/public_html> Options -Indexes +IncludesNOEXEC +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI Order Deny,Allow Allow from localhost AddHandler cgi-script .pl DirectoryIndex index.pl index.php AllowOverride Limit FileInfo Indexes AllowOverride All AddHandler fcgid-script .php AddHandler fcgid-script .php5 FCGIWrapper /home/amp-mysql/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php FCGIWrapper /home/amp-mysql/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php5 ##### LDAP AuthType Basic AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off AuthLDAPURL "ldap://10.1.32.2:3268 10.1.32.10:3268/DC=ad,DC=domain,DC=com?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*)" NONE AuthLDAPBindDN "CN=user.name,OU=HML Shared Accounts,DC=ad,DC=domain,DC=com" AuthLDAPBindPassword password AuthUserFile /dev/null Require valid-user AuthName "Restricted Dir [Domain Account]" AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN on ##### end LDAP ##### </Directory> RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =webmail.amp-mysql.domain.com RewriteRule ^(.*) https://amp-mysql.domain.com:20000/ [R] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =admin.amp-mysql.domain.com RewriteRule ^(.*) https://amp-mysql.domain.com:10000/ [R] RemoveHandler .php RemoveHandler .php5 IPCCommTimeout 31 <Files awstats.pl> AuthName "amp-mysql.domain.com statistics" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /home/amp-mysql/.awstats-htpasswd require valid-user </Files> php_value memory_limit 32M </VirtualHost> Thanks GM --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
