LDAP and htaccess on Apache
Is there any way to take an LDAP directory's username and password and integrate that with an htaccess file? For instance, let's say that I want the files in /usr/local/public_html/pro tected to be accessible to certain users. Instead of referring to some username/password list in an htaccess file, I would like to use the username and password from that user's LDAP directory username and password. Anyone have an idea how to do this? I am using the Apache web server and Netscape's latest LDAP directory.
AFAIK, you need to use a cgi program which displays the protected files after LDAP authentification
It looks like there are two LDAP authentication modules for apache:
AuthLDAP
AuthPerLDAP
I can't say that I've used either one, but the facility seems to exist...
