auth_ldap error

[Fred Day <ayeryier@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, All,

we run apache 2, httpd-2.2.3-11,  on linux with mod_authz_ldap-0.26-8.

On sites where we require authenticating to an external ldap directory, when a user browses to the given site, they are prmpted for a login and password ... as expected.  If they give proper credentials, all is fine.  If they choose "Cancel" they get "Authorization Required" ... again fine.  If they enter bad values, they are re-prompted ... up to three times and then get an "Authorization Required" if the credentials are still incorrect ... also fine.

The problem is when they are prompted for a login and password and they click "OK" without entering anything for id and password ... if someone does that, the get back an "Internal Server Error" rather than an "Authorization Required".  Note this does not happen on our apache 1.3 server also running on linux.

The error in the error logs is basically:

 

[Fri May 09 10:21:25 2008] [warn] [client 10.10.10.10] [14460] auth_ldap authenticate: user  authentication failed; URI /pubdir1/privdir1/dir/page1.pdf [ldap_search_ext_s() for user failed][Constraint violation], referer: http://www.mysite.com/humanresources/forms.html

 

Note that "www.mysite.com" is not the real machine name / domain nor is "pubdir1/privdir1/dir/page1.pdf " the real page path but they are similar.

 

"Constraint violation" almost sounds like a 0/0 issue.  Does anyone else have this issue ?  I have tried searching ( okay, googling ) for this but I am obviously not using the correct search string because I am not finding any mention of anyone else having this issue.  Are others fine using external ldap authentication with apache 2.2.x ?

 

I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Thanks
