hi there, I am fighting to get SSO with ntlm authenticating running. My problem is, that I, whatever I do only get an "authentication required" error, but no authentication box presented. I tried with IE, firefox (on winows and linux). I am using (trying at least) sambas auth_ntlm_winbind module. this module uses a helper utility. I replaced this helper by my own python script that does nothing but logging its execution. however, it is never executed and therefor it seems, that tis module is never called. I am working on a SuSe 11.1 box Apache is 2.2.10 thanks robert here my virtual host stanza: <VirtualHost 10.168.1.101:80> DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/ ServerAdmin robert@xxxxxxxxxx ServerName zehnder.redcor.home CustomLog /var/log/apache2/zehnder-access.log combined ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/zehnder-error.log #LogLevel warn LogLevel debug # don't loose time with IP address lookups HostnameLookups Off # needed for named virtual hosts UseCanonicalName Off # configures the footer on server-generated documents ServerSignature On # /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp <Location /> AuthName "NTLM Authentication thingy" NTLMAuth on NTLMAuthHelper "/tmp/sso.py" NTLMBasicAuthoritative off AuthType NTLM NTLMBasicAuth on #set to 'on' to activate Basic authentication (for non-NTLM browsers) NTLMBasicRealm "nj usw' #Realm to use for Basic authentication require valid-user </Location> RewriteEngine On # use #RewriteLog to debug problems with your rewrite rules # disable it after you found the error our your harddisk will be filled *very fast* RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/zehnder-rewrite.log RewriteLogLevel 3 RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} (.+) RewriteRule .* - [E=RU:%1] RequestHeader set X_REMOTE_USER %{RU}e # Normalize URLs by removing trailing /'s # Add to virtual host block for zehnder.redcor.home:80 RewriteRule /(.*)/$ http://127.0.0.1:8110/VirtualHostBase/http/zehnder.redcor.home:80/zehnderi/zehnderi/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P] RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8110/VirtualHostBase/http/zehnder.redcor.home:80/zehnderi/zehnderi/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P] </VirtualHost> --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
