    HTTP Basic authentication using mod_auth_ldap

    hiteshparashar

      Hi:

      I am running JBoss 2.4.3, Tomcat 4.0, Apache 1.3.22. I am using module mod_auth_ldap for BASIC HTTP authentication. For specifying the protected resources, we have to protect the directory where those resources reside. e.g.

      <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/foo">
      #<Directory "C:/Apache/htdocs/foo">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None
      order allow,deny
      allow from all
      AuthName "RCS Staff only"
      AuthType Basic
      LDAP_Server ldap.fccc.edu
      LDAP_Port 389
      Base_DN "o=Fox Chase Cancer Center,c=US"
      #Bind_DN "uid=admin,o=Fox Chase Cancer Center,c=US"
      #Bind_Pass "secret"
      UID_Attr uid
      #require valid-user
      require user muquit foo bar "john doe"
      #require roomnumber "123 Center Building"
      #require filter "(&(telephonenumber=1234)(roomnumber=123))"
      #require group cn=rcs,ou=Groups


      JBoss requires us to put the resources in JAR/WAR/EAR files and put into deploy directory (because my understanding is that server.xml of catalina does not talk to JBoss (please let me know if I am wrong)).

      How can I use BASIC HTTP auth in this scenario. Is there a workaround? Can I put my JSP/HTML/gif resources in a directory and protect them and make JBoss happy too!

      TIA,

      Hitesh.
