Normal LDAP. You can build the mod_auth_ldap module right into Apache
(I prefer the DSO), and then just pipe in your ADS LDAP server address
since ADS is already an LDAP server. The only issue I have with it is
that I have to bind before it will do the apache authentication. I
really wish I didn't have to do that.
To build with apache 2.0.54 (make sure you have ldap developer files
loaded) -
./configure --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-ldap --with-ldap
--enable-auth-ldap
Instructions on the directives for mod_auth_ldap are found here -
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_auth_ldap.html
If there was a way to set up replication (I am thinking it would make
for faster authentication) without asking the MIS staff to change
anything on the ADS side, I'd do it. There might be, but I haven't
found it yet.
Regards,
Frank
