I am running Apache 2.0.50 with mod_auth_ldap When I use the 'require group' directive, members of nested groups do not seem to be recognised. I am trying to authenticate using: 'require group cn=Authenticated_users,ou=Roles,dc=sample,dc=com' This group, (Authenticated_Users) has a group called 'cn=Everyone,ou=Groups,dc=sample,dc=com' as a uniqueMember. The user jbloggs is a member of cn=Everyone. Apache does not seem to follow the nesting of groups since if I add jbloggs directly as a uniqueMember of Authenticated_users everything works fine but when jbloggs is only a member of Everyone, authentication fails. I am just wondering what the standard, accepted way of setting up LDAP and apache is. Am I structuring my directory incorrectly? Any help resolving this would be appreciated. Thanks, Alun The sample ldif is included below: # OU DEFINITIONS # People OU - for holding records of all individuals dn: ou=People,dc=sample,dc=com ou: People objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit # Groups OU - for holding records of groupings of individuals dn: ou=Groups,dc=sample,dc=com ou: Groups objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit # Roles OU - for holding records of roles and the groups to which those roles have been assigned dn: ou=Roles,dc=sample,dc=com ou: Roles objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit # PEOPLE ENTRIES dn: uid=jbloggs,ou=People,dc=sample,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetOrgPerson sn: Bloggs cn: Joe uid: jbloggs userpassword: no3XJAZeeb9AKbGNY65/masWpZE= mail: jbloggs@xxxxxxxxxx # GROUPS ENTRIES dn: cn=Everyone,ou=Groups,dc=sample,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames cn: Everyone uniqueMember: uid=jbloggs,ou=People,dc=sample,dc=com # ROLES ENTRIES dn: cn=Authenticated_users,ou=Roles,dc=sample,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames cn: Authenticated_users uniqueMember: cn=Everyone,ou=Groups,dc=sample,dc=com --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
