Hi,

I posted the same question on alt.apache.configuration some time ago but got
no answer. On the Apache homepage they mention this newsgroup so I'll try
again:

I am setting up a test server with apache 2.2.0 and having trouble with LDAP
authentification.

This is (or was in 2.0) my configuration:

<Location /test>
SSLRequireSSL

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

# LDAP
AuthLDAPURL "ldaps://1.example.com 2.example.com
3.example.com/ou=users,ou=id,ou=auth,
o=example,c=com?uid?one?(objectClass=*)"
AuthLDAPBindDN
"CN=linuxlo_proxy,OU=admins,OU=id,OU=auth,O=exampl e,C=com"
AuthLDAPBindPassword "**********"
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative Off

# Authenticattion
Require valid-user
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Some text"

</Location>

Authentication fails with the following error:

[error] Internal error: pcfg_openfile() called with NULL filename
[error] [client 129.132.57.95] (9)Bad file descriptor: Could not
open password file: (null)

I could agree on the fact the the passwd file cannot be opened since there
is none :-). My problem is: why Apache does not use LDAP but looks for a
password file.

Many thanks in advance,

Matteo

LDAP-auth has been revamped for Apache 2.2, and your config from 2.0
is most likely not proper for the new server. One thing i noticed you
lack in your config is the "AuthBasicProvider ldap" directive. See
docs for details:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...thnz_ldap.html

Yes I had to adapt it a little bit

Many thanks! I was missing it. Now Apache is using LDAP to authenticate and
not asking for a passwd file anymore!.
