Weblog entry #11 for oxtan
See all weblog entries made by oxtan.
in sarge I could use auth_ldap (standard module, one just had to enable it). But in my new etch homevox I do not have it in mods-available. With apt-cache search I only find libapache2-mod-ldap-userdir and libapache2-mod-vhost-ldap, but no auth_ldap.
has anybody had this same problem?

There's still an old package in experimental, though, which is confusing. I filed bug 421334 to try to get it removed.

I could work around it with authnz_ldap as described here:

From what I can tell, authnz_ldap has replaced auth_ldap in apache2.2. One main reason I can think of is that there is a move to "split" the auth_* modules into autheNtication (authn_*) and authoriZation (authz_*) versions.
However, I guess whomever was working on the LDAP code decieded to join the two back together again, hence the "nz" in authnz_ldap.
I'm not sure how worthwhile the whole effort is/was, as while authentication and authorisation are different beasts, they are usually pretty closely coupled...
Cheers.
