If you want to use any of these directives in your httpd configuration, then mod_ldap will be necessary: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_ldap.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html Basically, if you want to use httpd for authentication over LDAP. > The docs say "websites relying on backend connections to LDAP > servers." I can't quite grasp it. Would it only be useful if I > don't use any LDAP libraries in my website code? I think that is more negatives than you had intended to use in there. The only time you need LDAP-related modules in httpd if if you want to use LDAP-related directives. If you use LDAP through PHP, it's completely irrelevant: PHP contains its own LDAP support. So if you only need LDAP support within PHP itself, you can ignore all the LDAP-related modules for httpd. > Do you know of example websites using this?

The answer to that question is insanely easy to find: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html - -chris > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Christopher Schultz > [mailto:chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Montag, 11.
