Hello, Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post questions about mod_authnz_ldap, but I've been struggling with this particularly issue for a few days now ... I have a (working) openldap server which contains a number of user accounts. see extract below : dn: uid=pmiles,ou=people,dc=paymo,dc=com givenName: Paul sn: Miles mail: paul.miles@xxxxxxxxx cn: Paul Miles uid: pmiles userPassword:: Q0hebmczTTM= uidNumber: 1011 gidNumber: 10000 homeDirectory: /dev/null objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount objectClass: top structuralObjectClass: inetOrgPerson entryUUID: 131b7288-e55a-102d-8cc6-3d5a9f4d1623 creatorsName: cn=Manager,dc=paymo,dc=com createTimestamp: 20090604134805Z entryCSN: 20090604134805Z#000000#00#000000 modifiersName: cn=Manager,dc=paymo,dc=com modifyTimestamp: 20090604134805Z dn: cn=sys_admins,ou=group,dc=paymo,dc=com cn: sys_admins gidNumber: 1000 objectClass: posixGroup objectClass: top structuralObjectClass: posixGroup entryUUID: dfdbed90-e567-102d-8cc8-3d5a9f4d1623 creatorsName: cn=Manager,dc=paymo,dc=com createTimestamp: 20090604152652Z memberUid: paul.miles@xxxxxxxxx entryCSN: 20090609120825Z#000000#00#000000 modifiersName: cn=Manager,dc=paymo,dc=com modifyTimestamp: 20090609120825Z This is my apache virtual host config : <Location /en> AuthType Basic AuthName "TEST" AuthLDAPURL ldap://web1.paymo.net:389/ou=People,dc=paymo,dc=com?mail # require valid-user AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off require ldap-group cn=sysadmins,dc=paymo,dc=com </Location> If I uncomment 'require valid-user' and comment 'require ldap-group' then I can authenticate absolutely fine. However, if I comment out the 'require valid-user' and uncomment 'require ldap-group', then it never manages to authenticate. I see these errors in the apache error logs : [Tue Jun 09 17:52:33 2009] [debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(373): [client 192.168.0.9] [24341] auth_ldap authenticate: using URL ldap://web1.paymo.net:389/ou=People,dc=paymo,dc=com?mail, referer: http://devwww.paymo.com/ [Tue Jun 09 17:52:33 2009] [debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(454): [client 192.168.0.9] [24341] auth_ldap authenticate: accepting paul.miles@xxxxxxxxx, referer: http://devwww.paymo.com/ [Tue Jun 09 17:52:33 2009] [debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(821): [client 192.168.0.9] [24341] auth_ldap authorise: declining to authorise, referer: http://devwww.paymo.com/ [Tue Jun 09 17:52:33 2009] [error] [client 192.168.0.9] access to /en/company.html failed, reason: require directives present and no Authoritative handler., referer: http://devwww.paymo.com/ [Tue Jun 09 17:52:36 2009] [debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(373): [client 192.168.0.9] [24342] auth_ldap authenticate: using URL ldap://web1.paymo.net:389/ou=People,dc=paymo,dc=com?mail, referer: http://devwww.paymo.com/ [Tue Jun 09 17:52:36 2009] [debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(454): [client 192.168.0.9] [24342] auth_ldap authenticate: accepting paul.miles@xxxxxxxxx, referer: http://devwww.paymo.com/ [Tue Jun 09 17:52:36 2009] [debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(821): [client 192.168.0.9] [24342] auth_ldap authorise: declining to authorise, referer: http://devwww.paymo.com/ [Tue Jun 09 17:52:36 2009] [error] [client 192.168.0.9] access to /en/company.html failed, reason: require directives present and no Authoritative handler., referer: http://devwww.paymo.com/ I'd welcome any advice/suggestions on this.
