This question is best suited towards the
community behind the LDAP libraries or the LDAP authentication module you are
speaking about. However, it’s a pretty easy guess
you are speaking about OpenLDAP, which is distributed as a single tarball of
code for the libraries, command line tools, and server. There’s no way
around that unless you find another distribution, perhaps via another source,
which I wouldn’t recommend. It’s always best to deal with primary
sources or mirrors and be sure to check the signatures on anything you
download. You’ve got nothing to worry about:
building and installing OpenLDAP *does not*
run the LDAP server. You (or someone on the system with
administrative privileges) would need to initiate starting the server. You can
also delete the server binaries and configuration if you wish, but it’s
simplest to never run any of the LDAP server start up scripts. I recommend
reading the OpenLDAP administrator handbook to learn more about what files
constitute the server, startup, and configuration rather than ask further here. Cheers, --Mark Mark Lavi, mailto:mlavi@xxxxxxx || phone:+1-650-933-7707 From: Malka
Cymbalista [mailto:Malki.Cymbalista@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] I am running
Apache 2.0.55 with mod_perl 2.0.1 and Perl 5.8.1 on a Sun Solaris machine. We
would like to do http authentication via our ldap server so we need to install
mod_auth_ldap. The instrictions
I found for installing mod_auth_ldap (http://www.muquit.com/muquit/software/mod_auth_ldap/mod_auth_ldap_apache2.html)
say that before compiling and installing mod_auth_ldap, we need to complile and
install LDAP libraries. The instructions for installing ldap libraries
seem to force me to also install an ldap server. I do not want to install
an ldap server since we already have a working ldap server. I want to use
our existing ldap server to do httpd authentication on our web server. Is there
a way to install only the ldap libraries? Thanks for any
help. Malka Cymbalista |
