We are running apache 2.2.6 on a Linux machine. We have enabledldap authentication. I would like to allow users to authenticate to aparticular directory either using a valid ldap userid from a list ofvalid userids or if they are a member of a group that I have defined inan external file. I put the following code into my httpd.conf file <Directory /my/directory> AuthType Basic AuthName "Private Pages" AuthBasicProvider ldap file AuthGroupFile /WWW/httpd/conf/.htgroup AuthUserFile /WWW/httpd/conf/.htpasswd AuthLDAPRemoteUserAttribute cn AuthLDAPURL "ldaps://a.server.com:111/o=Users?cn" AuthLDAPBindDN cn=InternetAuthUser,o=system AuthLDAPBindPassword xxxxx AuthzLDAPAuthoritative Off AuthLDAPRemoteUserIsDN On Require group scientists Require user user1 abuser This did not work. The only way that I was able to allow theusers user1 and abuser to get in to the directory was by creating agroup for the and adding that group to the require group line anddeleting the Require user line. Is there a way to authenticate either via a user or via a group?
