Dear Friends, I am new to Apache and mod_rewrite. I have a challenge to append the AuthName to the URL. I am using the following directive to protect the location / with a popup and user data coming from an LDAP server. <Location /> AuthzLDAPMethod ldap AuthzLDAPServer 10.2.1.86 AuthzLDAPUserBase ou=People,dc=example,dc=com AuthzLDAPUserKey uid AuthzLDAPUserScope base AuthType Basic AuthName "GRRRR" require valid-user </Location> My email id ravi.verma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is a valid userid in the ldap server. Now I need to write a rule so that I could rewrite / to an URL which looks as follows. http://localhost/home.seam?userid=ravi.verma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as I used ravi.verma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as the valid-user. When I use RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^ RewriteRule ^/$ http://localhost/home.seam?userid=%{REMOTE_USER} [L] All I get is http://localhost/home.seam?userid= I appreciate your help. -- Kind regards.
