Found minor typo in documentation for AuthLDAPURL / mod_authnz_ldap with redundant servers in the URL
|
|
Hello,
Trying to set up LDAP authentication in my Apache, I found a slight
problem in the manual (more specifically on this page:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html#examples)
The example for redundant LDAP servers is "almost" correct, showing:
AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldap1.airius.com ldap2.airius.com/ou=People,
o=Airius
Require valid-user
However, when usin this setup you will get an error similar to this:
Syntax error on line 51 of
/opt/csw/apache2/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:
Invalid LDAP connection mode setting: must be one of NONE, SSL,
or TLS/STARTTLS
This is because the AuthLDAPURL is being incorrectly split up in the
parsing of the Apache 2.2 config file, and the second "keyword" becomes
"ldap2.airius.com/ou=People," which is incorrect syntax (the
configuration parser expects an LDAP connection mode according to the
manual,
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html#authldapurl)
The correct way to do it is enquoting the URL in double quotes:
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://ldap1.airius.com ldap2.airius.com/ou=People,
o=Airius"
Require valid-user
Works like a charm for me. :) Hope this helps someone!
