[users@httpd] RE: Authentication Troubles

["Fenlason, Josh" <jfenlason@xxxxxxx>]

Has anyone been able to get ldap authentication working with Apache 2.2.x?  I thought that I had it working with 2.2.0, but I just retested that and ran into the same issue.  I'm not the only one who has seen this problem.  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-users&m=114062112616017&w=2.  If I'm doing something wrong, I would greatly appreciate some suggestions on what I need to do to fix this.  Otherwise, this is a pretty serious regression from 2.0 to 2.2.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Subject: Authentication Troubles

I'm trying to move to Apache 2.2.2 and I'm running into some authentication troubles. 

When I enter the correct username/password it authenticates properly.  When I enter an invalid username, I get prompted up to three times and it fails with a 401 like expected.  My problem is when I attempt to authenticate with a valid username and provide an invalid password.  It fails with a 500 error and this message is in the error log "[3692] auth_ldap authenticate: user admin authentication failed; URI / [ldap_simple_bind_s() to check user credentials failed][Invalid Credentials]".  It only prompts me once.  If I don't enter the correct password, it fails for the browser session.  Has anyone else seen this?  Any suggestions on what's wrong?  Thanks in advance.

Here's my authentication configuration:

 

    <AuthnProviderAlias ldap test>
      AuthLDAPURL ldap://localhost/ou=people
    </AuthnProviderAlias>

 

    <Location />
      AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
      AuthName "Test"
      AuthType Basic
      AuthBasicProvider test
      require valid-user
    </Location>
