Hi people,

I'm a first time user of Xampp and want to quickly deploy and test a solution. I am trying to protect the root of my intranet site using Microsoft Active Directory 2003. This will mean that visitors to the intranet site will need to provide their network logon to access the intranet pages. From what I understand I need to do two things to accomplish this:

1. enable LDAP by going to C:\xampp\php\php.ini and uncommenting extension=php_ldap.dll
2. create a .htaccess file in C:\xampp\htdocs

Here is what my .htaccess file looks like

Code: Select all

Order deny,allow
   Allow from all
   AuthBasicProvider ldap
   AuthzLDAPAuthoritative Off
   AuthLDAPURL
   ldap://domaincontroller:389/CN=Users,DC=location,DC=company,DC=com?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=user)
   AuthLDAPBindDN cn=myusername,cn=Users,dc=location,dc=company,dc=com
   AuthLDAPBindPassword mypassword
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Protected"
   require valid-user

After doing this I try to browse to localhost and get this error message

Server error!

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks a lot for your time

Hi,

You have to edit the httpd.conf file for .htaccess

Regards Stepke

Thanks for the quick reply Stepke-DSL

What line do I need to add/edit in the http.conf file? I have read up quite a bit about how to do this, but I'm still new to Xampp and I've been scratching my head over this problem.

Thanks for your patience.

I have the oddest feeling that the context names may need to be in CAPS to be parsed right - who knows - worth a shot.

i.e CN= DC= etc

Also - did you look in the apache errror log???

I'll be very inerested to see if this works correctly with XAMPP

I also think - Stepke may have been saying you need to add a AccessFileName directive to httpd.conf - but in XAMMP (I just found out answering another topic) its in /apache/extra/default-httpd.conf, so its not where you usually find it. (httpd.conf)

Good Luck
