Re: LDAP authentication with uid

Hi,

Maybe this will help you. I am using this for testing purpose and I am sure that there are some more scure examples but ...
This is a test user, test group and test apache2 config part:

User:

dn: uid=ptest,ou=CS,ou=Policy,ou=SDM,dc=lab,dc=os
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: shadowAccount
gidNumber: 27782
givenName: Proba
sn: Test
displayName: Proba Test
uid: ptest
homeDirectory: /home/ptest
gecos: This is a test user
loginShell: /bin/bash
shadowFlag: 0
shadowMin: 0
shadowMax: 99999
shadowWarning: 0
shadowInactive: 99999
shadowLastChange: 12011
shadowExpire: 99999
cn: Proba Test
uidNumber: 51893
userPassword: {SSHA}sdssdske38734mjfFGGHJJ23434dsdsfs=
mail: testproba@gmail.com

Group:

dn: cn=proba,ou=Posix,ou=Groups,ou=SDM,dc=lab,dc=os
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: top
cn: proba
memberUid: ptest
memberUid: labadmin
gidNumber: 28370

Apache config:

    <Directory /var/www>
        #Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    <Location />
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Software"
        AuthBasicProvider ldap
        AuthLDAPURL "ldap://192.168.15.140:389/ou=SDM,dc=lab,dc=os?uid"
        AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off
        AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberUid
        Require ldap-group cn=proba,ou=Posix,ou=Groups,ou=SDM,dc=lab,dc=os
    </Location>

Hi Mary,

If this is similar to ssh auth against LDAP using uid, the dn would
look like the following
dn: uid=christine,ou=ELOGAccounts,ou=RavenApps,dc=my-domain,dc=com

Now I am not sure how Apache does the lookup, but if I am wrong, maybe
someone else can reply.
