Hi everyone... I am a newbie here. Working presently authentication with Apache and openldap. Autnetication is working properly but I want a bit more. What I want is to search for aliases in the Openldap tree during authentication(in .htaccess file). The tree structure is: A user tree. Each user has a list of applications whick he can access. These applications are aliased to the user. I want to authentcate the user if he has valid application. versions are Apache-2.2.6 Openldap-2.3 Thanks in advance..
Sounds like you're jumping straight in at the deep end. Good for you ! I have achieved the same effect by using LDAP groups. I just put the people I want to access certain pages in a certain group and then require that group for that page in the apache config. I don't have access to the config I used but I will on Monday. I'll post it then.
I couldn't get what I required. But what you suggested is absolutely right( I am using that also). I changed my directory structureso that I can hold the application list(page list) in some attribute (no alias) of the user and it worked too. Thanks for the reply
