I guess it had to come to this. I have gotten Linux login authentication working against the local Windows AD. I would next like to get apache authentication working in a similar fashion. In reading the docs on this, the first obvious thing I do not know is the user and password needed for accessing the AD server when doing the authentication. This must exist somewhere, as openSUSE is doing this. I joined the AD via YAST. So, I am guessing, this information exists somewhere on my system.
You need a fitting mod_* module for Apache. There are two ways. a) apache2-mod_auth_ntlm_winbind b) apache2-mod_auth_kerb I've used a) in the past but had some trouble with keepalive and https. This is generic and known. Therfore I appreciate if any reports sucess with apache2-mod_auth_kerb. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
