Samba with ldap backend authenticates samba users. An ldif example for a user looks like this: dn: uid=craig,ou=users,dc=abbott-simses,dc=com uid: craig sambaSID: sid id sambaPrimaryGroupSID: grp id displayName: Samba User objectClass: sambaSamAccount objectClass: account structuralObjectClass: account entryUUID: 9ae5c990-91c3-102a-8f9f-ce821b1d4ee9 creatorsName: cn=admin,dc=abbott-simses,dc=com createTimestamp: 20060616203700Z sambaPwdMustChange: 9223372036854775807 sambaPasswordHistory: 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000 sambaAcctFlags: [U ] sambaPwdCanChange: 1155656650 sambaLMPassword: pass sambaNTPassword: pass sambaPwdLastSet: 1155656650 entryCSN: 20060815154410Z#000001#00#000000 modifiersName: cn=root,dc=abbott-simses,dc=com modifyTimestamp: 20060815154410Z I also want to set up apache webdav to the same user folders witjh ldap authentication. But I get authentication error. Here's the relevant part of apache2.conf from testing Debian Alias /craig /hou-1/general/USERS/Craig <Directory /craig> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> <Location /craig> DAV on AllowOverride None Satisfy all SSLRequireSSL Options Indexes MultiViews AuthType Basic AuthName "Abbott, Simses & Kuchler: Net Folders" AuthLDAPEnabled on AuthLDAPURL ldap://127.0.0.1:389/ou=users,dc=abbott-simses,dc=com?uid??(objectclass= *) Require user craig </Location> The Apache log entry looks like this: Access.log 192.168.193.30 - "" [28/Aug/2006:16:41:39 -0500] "PROPFIND /craig HTTP/1.0" 401 401 Error.log [Mon Aug 28 16:41:39 2006] [warn] [client 192.168.193.30] [3895] auth_ldap authenticate: user authentication failed; URI /craig [User not found][No such object] Apache supplies a login prompt asking for user name and password. What happens to the password? There is no password attribute for user craig. Does apache compare passwords? There is no mention of user password in the mod_auth_ldap help section. I think I need a hint here, because I'm sure I'm missing something really simple. Using Apache 2 on Debian testing.
