Hey guys I am running CentOS 5 with httpd 2.2.3 I am trying to configure mod_authnzldap authing against Active Directory and I have it working about 50% of the time. About 50% of the time this works with no issue, the rest of the time it fails. Sometimes it fails and notes the following in the error log: [Mon Oct 22 15:58:03 2007] [debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(373): [client 10.XXX.XX.XXX] [13379] auth_ldap authenticate: using URL ldap://10.XX.XX.XXX:389/DC=centos,DC=org?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*) [Mon Oct 22 15:58:03 2007] [warn] [client 10.xxx.xx.xxx] [13379] auth_ldap authenticate: user special authentication failed; URI /logo.gif [ldap_search_ext_s() for user failed][Operations error] Other times it printsthe following, but nothing after that (and CPU usage skyrockets to 100% of a single CPU) [Mon Oct 22 16:08:11 2007] [debug] mod_authnz_ldap.c(373): [client 10.XX.XXX.XX] [13437] auth_ldap authenticate: using URL ldap://10.XX.X.XXX:389/DC=centos,DC=org?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*) In capturing the packets I see that it binds successfully several times and then tries to authenticate. The AD box returns: LDAPMessage searchResDone(5) operationsError (00000000: LdapErr: DSID-0C090627, comment: In order to perform this operation a successful bind must be completed on the connection., data 0, vece) [0 results] None of the binds that occur in the capture failed though. (all the bind responses reported success) The appropriate (anonymized) lines from httpd.conf are: <Location /logo.gif> # <--- change path as needed Order allow,deny Allow from all AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthType Basic AuthzLdapAuthoritative off AuthName "BackupPC login" AuthLDAPBindDN ldapb at centos.org AuthLDAPBindPassword myformerlysecretpasswordpostedtoworld AuthLDAPURL "ldap://10.XX.XX.XXX:389/DC=centos,DC=org?sAMAccountName?sub?
