Hi - Thank you Sascha for your help. I am still dealing with an issue - but I think that I need more info from my people managing the ldap server I did have one more question, im not to familiar with it, or how exactly to word it. But I am also looking to incorporate NTLM authentication, this way users are not prompted for a login. I know it has been implemented with Apache 2.0.59 (painstakingly) Any ideas ? -----Original Message----- From: Sascha Kersken [mailto:sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2007 2:00 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Apache2.2.4 - LDAP Hi, > [Mon Apr 23 13:37:34 2007] [notice] Child 3880: Starting thread to listen > on port 7070. > [Mon Apr 23 13:37:40 2007] [error] Internal error: pcfg_openfile() called > with NULL filename > [Mon Apr 23 13:37:40 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (9)Bad file > descriptor: Could not open password file: (null) > Could it be the AuthName ?

That's the reason for the "NULL filename" error message.
