-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [replying to my own post, *sigh*] Well, my continued testing must've joggled something, because today at least it did the SSL handshake before sending an alert and tearing down the connection. I do have it working now. Our ADS DCs have a collective name which has an A RR for each DC, plus separate names for each DC (of course). The certificate on each DC has CN=individual-name, and the certificate verification freaked when a cert. was received which didn't textually match the hostname from the ldaps: URL. Listing the six individual DC hostnames in the URL yielded a working configuration. For the record, here's the .htaccess that worked: AuthLDAPBindDN "my user account's DN" AuthLDAPBindPassword "my user account's password" AuthLDAPURL "ldaps://host1 host2 host3 host4 host5 host6/base?CN?one" AuthName ADS AuthType Basic Require valid-user (with secrets and semi-secrets replaced, of course). - -- Mark H.
