Hi Pamela, I finally got things working. My co-worker helped me find the problem: in apache log we found these messages while restarting apache: [Mon Aug 22 12:31:43 2005] [notice] LDAP: Built with OpenLDAP LDAP SDK [Mon Aug 22 12:31:43 2005] [crit] LDAP: Invalid LDAPTrustedCAType directive - BASE64_FILE type required [Mon Aug 22 12:31:43 2005] [warn] LDAP: SSL initialization failed [Mon Aug 22 12:31:43 2005] [notice] LDAP: SSL support unavailable I was using the wrong type of CA file, and when I put in the right one everything worked. The FreeBSD stuff probably won't help you get things going on Windows. When you say: "So I've tried to install the option in the config file like this: ldap_auth_module modules/mod_auth_ldap.so And I've tried it like this: ldap_auth_module D:/apache_files/mod_auth_ldap.so" Have you opened your httpd.conf file and had a look? Here's a link: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/windows.html#use If you find a bunch of lines that start with "LoadModule", that's where you might want to try putting in the line (or uncommenting it if it's there): LoadModule ldap_auth_module libexec/apache2/mod_auth_ldap.so Then don't forget to restart apache.. Have fun! Andrew Andrew Musselman andrew@xxxxxxx >>> pamela.kalle@xxxxxxxxx 8/23/2005 1:45 AM >>> Hi Andrew, Is it possible that your problem has something to do with the port number? Normally when you use a not-SSL connection you use port 389 and for a SSL connection you use 636. I don't know very good what you mean with: I got mine working on FreeBSD by using the ports tree, after renaming and removing httpd.conf, by going into the apache2 directory and doing: make clean make WITH_PROXY_MODULES=yes WITH_LDAP_MODULES=yes WITH_SSL_MODULES=yes I've tried to do this via de cmd on the directory Apache2 and on the directory Apache/BIN but it didn't work (make is not a recognised command)but maybe this is because I'm working with Windows... Thank you for the answer Greetings Pamela -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Andrew Musselman [mailto:Andrew@xxxxxxx] Verzonden: maandag 22 augustus 2005 17:54 Aan: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Onderwerp: Re: [users@httpd] mod_auth_ldap Hi Pamela, On this page: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/windows.html The directions say you can load a module by adding a line to your httpd.conf: LoadModule ldap_auth_module libexec/apache2/mod_auth_ldap.so I got mine working on FreeBSD by using the ports tree, after renaming and removing httpd.conf, by going into the apache2 directory and doing: make clean make WITH_PROXY_MODULES=yes WITH_LDAP_MODULES=yes WITH_SSL_MODULES=yes Then checking which lines the new install put in and copying them into my old httpd.conf. That may not help your situation, I don't know. In my case, I'm getting these two errors in my log file when I try to access a protected directory. Here are the lines in the .htaccess file protecting the directory: AuthLDAPEnabled on AuthType Basic AuthLDAPURL ldap://my.ldap.server:636/o=CWU?uid require valid-user Here is the error I get using ldap:// "[LDAP: ldap_simple_bind_s() failed][Can't contact LDAP server]" Here is the error I get using ldaps:// "[LDAP: ssl connections not supported][Can't contact LDAP server]" Has anyone encountered these errors and know how to solve them? Thank you, Andrew Andrew Musselman andrew@xxxxxxx >>> pamela.kalle@xxxxxxxxx 8/22/2005 12:38 AM >>> Hi I'm also trying to use the mod_auth_ldap, but I'm having troubles as well. Maybe my experience can help you as well, and maybe someone else can help us both. I'm working on a Windows 2000 server. I installed the apache version 2.0.54. In this version I find a mod_auth_ldap.so in the modules map (C:/Program Files/apache group/apache/modules). So indeed it lookes like "it comes out of the box". Still manuals for apache (http://www.muquit.com/muquit/software/mod_auth_ldap/mod_auth_ldap_apach e2.html) describe to install a .dll (not a .so) for Windows Users. The manual that I'm reffering to also suggest an extra installation of some dll's you should find at a sun-site. I've tried this but I found many dll's so I don't know which they want. So I've tried to install the option in the config file like this: ldap_auth_module modules/mod_auth_ldap.so And I've tried it like this: ldap_auth_module D:/apache_files/mod_auth_ldap.so Both times my apache server crashed. (didn't want to restart). My log files give me something like this: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed. Thanks Pamela -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Andrew Musselman [mailto:Andrew@xxxxxxx] Verzonden: vrijdag 19 augustus 2005 19:50 Aan: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Onderwerp: [users@httpd] mod_auth_ldap I have read that mod_auth_ldap comes "out of the box" in Apache 2.0 and up, but I'm not sure how to enable it. Is it as simple as adding something like this to httpd.conf: LoadModule ldap_auth_module libexec/apache2/mod_auth_ldap.so Or are there other steps? I don't see it in the FreeBSD ports tree. Thanks, Andrew Andrew Musselman andrew@xxxxxxx >>> sanguis@xxxxxxxxx 8/19/2005 10:20:08 AM >>> > I have apache running on my Windows 2000 Machine with SSL. Runs OK, > but in order to start apache with SSL I must start it up in a dos > window. Remove all 'IfDefine SSL' things in your httpd.conf, and the thing should use SSL automagically. If you don't want this, and have Apache as service, you can give extra parameters (like -DSSL) in the service properties.
