I've had decent luck with LDAP authentication for Apache. AD does not support anonymous LDAP searches so you have to have a user account that has the ability to search AD. Here's a modified sample config (.htaccess or httpd.conf) that includes security group membership checks. This would require that a user login with their Windows domain username and password and that the user be a member of the AD security group 'managers': AuthType basic AuthName "Windows Domain Credentials - Managers Only" AuthzLDAPMethod ldap AuthzLDAPServer "dc1.example.com" AuthzLDAPBindDN "CN=username,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com" AuthzLDAPBindPassword "superSecretPassword" AuthzLDAPUserBase "CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com" AuthzLDAPUserKey sAMAccountName AuthzLDAPUserScope subtree AuthzLDAPGroupBase "CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com" AuthzLDAPGroupKey cn AuthzLDAPGroupScope subtree AuthzLDAPMemberKey member AuthzLDAPSetGroupAuth ldapdn require group managers On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 11:35 AM, Tom Bishop <bishoptf at gmail.com> wrote: > I looked over an most of which I have already done, the last piece that I > am trying to address is how to do authentication with Apache against active > directory, mod_auth_pam is one way but I have not had any luck getting it to > compile with the latest Apache....Thanks > > > On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 6:49 PM, Arvind P R <iinfi1 at gmail.com> wrote: > >> I had written a blog quite some time back on this.
