I am looking at LDAP module for Apache httpd for authentication. The 'yum install' gives me 'mod_authz_ldap.i386 0:0.26-9.el5_5.1', whereas on Apache documentation site I find mod_authNz_ldap module. Both modules appear to be different looking at available directives. Any clues or suggestions on which module should be used? Where can I find documentation for mod_authz_ldap?
Look inside your httpd.conf file, it will answer that one for you. RHEL's httpd supports ldap auth as shipped.
What I did in my httpd.conf file;
AuthName "Company" AuthType Basic AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldap1.company.com/ou=people,dc=company,dc=com?uid AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldap2.company.com/ou=people,dc=company,dc=com?uid Require valid-user
This brings up the apache dialogue window and does provide a good layer of security as if you don't authenticate, you don't even get the URL to phish for data.
