I have it set to my user id No, auth name is the realm; i.e. the authentication context (provided within the login box by the browser). > <Directory /> > Order allow,deny > Allow from all > AuthType Basic > AuthName vtlu > AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on > AuthLDAPUrl ldap://aaa.bbbb.org:389/basedn?sAMAccountName? > AuthLDAPRemoteUserAttribute vtlu > AuthLDAPBindPassword xxxxxx > require valid-user > </Directory> With Apache 2.2, you need to add the line AuthBasicProvider ldap If you don't, Apache presumes the file provider and looks for an AuthUserFile directive which you don't provide here (because you want ldap). That's the reason for the "NULL filename" error message.
