HP Open Source Middleware Stacks Blueprints: LAMP Architecture on HP ProLiant BladeSystem Servers on SLES

Configuring Apache Web Server Services

Use the following procedure to configure the Apache Web server services:

1. Edit the following /etc/sysconfig/apache2 file by adding the modules ldap and

authnz_ldap to the APACHE_MODULES line:

After completing this edit, the line should look like the following:

APACHE_MODULES="... ... ldap authnz_ldap"

2. Create the following file:

/srv/www/htdocs/foo/index.html

Add the following lines to the preceding file:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<title>Test Apache & CDS integration</title>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

Directory foo succeed! </FONT>

</P>

</BODY>

</HTML>

3. Edit the following file:

/etc/apache2/default-server.conf

Add the following lines to the preceding file:

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

AllowOverride None

order allow,deny

allow from all

AuthType Basic

AuthName Internal

AuthBasicProvider ldap

AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off

AuthLDAPURL ldap://<YOUR_LDAP_SERVER_IP>/dc=osm,dc=example,dc=com?uid??(objectclass=*)

Require ldap-group cn=tomcat,ou=groups,dc=osm,dc=example,dc=com

AuthLDAPBindDN cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com

AuthLDAPBindPassword secret

</Directory>

4. Restart Apache by entering the following command:

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

5. Verify that the Apache LDAP authentication is operating properly by navigating to the

following website at:

http://<YOUR_WEB_SERVER_IP>/foo/

6. When prompted, log in with the user name tomy and the password tom.

The login fails, the following message appears:

Authorization Required

The tomy user does not belong to the tomcat group so the authentication failed. This failure

proves that the Apache Web server authentication services are operating properly. This can

be further proved to be true by entering the user name benw and password ben and the

following message displays:

The Authentication and Authorization worked !
