Install guide

Using External NIS Password Authentication (RHEL 5 only)
The mod_auth_pam.so method described above is for Apache 2.0 on RHEL 4 and will
not work with Apache 2.2 on RHEL 5. Note that mod_auth_pam is no longer supported or
developed: see http://pam.sourceforge.net/mod_auth_pam.
On RHEL 5 with Apache 2.2, using mod_authnz_external.so with pwauth may
provide an alternative method for NIS authentication. For installation details see
$OWHOME/WebApps/dso/external.README and external.tar.gz.
Using LDAP for Password Authentication
Apache 2.0 and newer includes by default the required modules for LDAP authentication.
1. Check that the httpd.conf loads the required modules:
grep ldap_module /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
LoadModule ldap_module modules/mod_ldap.so
LoadModule auth_ldap_module modules/mod_auth_ldap.so
Note: on RHEL 5, mod_auth_ldap is renamed to mod_authnz_ldap:
LoadModule authnz_ldap_module modules/mod_authnz_ldap.so.
2. Modify the .htaccess file located in $OWHOME/WebApps/cgi-bin to turn on LDAP
authentication, as illustrated below (for security level B):
<FilesMatch "(input|delete)\.cgi$">
AuthType basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap # Apache 2.2 only
AuthName "WOW LDAP Linux"
AuthAuthoritative off # Apache 2.0 only
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off # Apache 2.2 only
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://xtera/ou=people,dc=cooper,dc=com?uid"
Require valid-user
</FilesMatch>
The AuthLDAPURL value will be site-specific. It is the URL of the LDAP server and
indicates where in the LDAP database the user information is taken from. The LDAP
administrator will know what is appropriate for the site.
Additional notes:
1. Comment out the AuthBasicProvider line for Apache 2.0.
2. Use either AuthAuthoritative or AuthzLDAPAuthoritative depending on
whether running Apache 2.0 or 2.2.
3. Comment out the FilesMatch lines for security level C.
