Great! That´s it!
I´ve tried to use a user called "admin" that exists in the LDAP server.
So, to make the test, I´ve created a crazy username and put it into the flat
file, and it works!
The Apache tries to consult the flat file only if it doesn´t find the user
in the LDAP server.
Now, another problem (sorry for boring you). Instead of use a flat file as a
second option, I want to use a database.
So, I´ve installed the Apache::DBI module and tried to use the
Apache::AuthDBI to authenticate in a MySQL database.
Now the problem is that Apache only try to use the Apache::AuthDBI module.
It doesn´t looking for in the LDAP server any more.
Any idea? Maybe I shoud try to use the mod_authn_dbd instead of
Apache::AuthDBI?
What do you think?
I think indeed that you try with mod_authn_dbd instead of Apache::AuthDBI, in this case.
There are others here that will explain that better than I can (Torsten, are you there ?), but in a nutshell :
Modules like mod_xxx are Apache add-on modules written in C.
Modules like Apache::AuthDBI are Apache add-on modules written in Perl, who themselves work within the framework provided by the mod_perl add-on module (and the embedded perl interpreter that it carries with it).
mod_perl itself "insinuates itself" fairly deeply into Apache, so that many times you can do the same things as what C add-on modules achieve (or even more things), but mod_perl add-on modules and C add-on modules do not always "cooperate" so well with eachother.
In the latest Apache 2.x versions, the various mod_authxxxx C modules have apparently been rewritten so that they cooperate with eachother well.
On the other hand, Apache::DBI is older, and does not cooperate so nicely with the others.
So you shouldn't mix the two types of add-ons, at least not when it is within the same Apache "authentication phase".
This was a very summary explanation, and probably quite insufficient from a purist technical point of view. If you need more details, ask and I'll try.
