Yes that thought crossed my mind. There are four ways I can think of to get it working: 1. Use the standard Apache LDAP modules. Actually this might be more than one way, because there are lots of different combinations of mod_auth_ldap, mod_authz_ldap, mod_authnz_ldap and perhaps others... here I am using the last of these. 2. Patch the Apache code to authenticate against Active Directory in a more straightforward way, that is, just bind with the username and password given by the user, and if it works then authentication succeeds. 3. Use Kerberos. 4. Write a custom handler in Perl. I'm still on (1) at the moment because there are so many tantalizing half-complete howto instructions on the web, I'm convinced that somebody somewhere has been able to make it work. -- Ed Avis <eda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
