Apache auth on an NT4 Domain Workstation with global groups?

[dietmarw]

Hi..

first, i´m not an expert on Linux, Apache and Samba, so excuse stupid Questions.

Situation:
We try to realize a secured Webpage on an SUSE Linux 7.1 (7.3) based Apache Webserver.
Also there is an existing large NT4 Domain (no admin right for me).
Therefore we want to use existing NT Domain Accounts to Authenticate.

One question is, auth only works on NT DC´s ?
Most descriptions only about PDC´s.

Problem is, that our PDC dont accept requests from our Linux Server,
so we try to auth on an NT Workstation with global Groups from this Domain.
(think it is smb auth?)

But we dont get it work.. :-((

Anyone some good Descriptions or Solutions for us??
Which Modules do you use? And how they are configured?


Thanks in Advance!

Hi,

Its not too clear what authentication code you are trying to use. There is nothing built in to Apache but there are at least two add-ons you can try - mod_auth_samba -->

http://modauthsamba.sourceforge.net/

and the perl module Apache::AuthenSmb which is designed to be used with mod_perl -->

http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=Apache::AuthenSmb

.

Hope this helps

Der erste Link ist vergleichbar mit dem was ich inzwischen gefunden habe,
nennt sich mod_auth_smb und wird auf der gleichen Basis funktionieren.

Das haben wir auch schon zum laufen bekommen.

Danke trotzdem..
