PacketFence

Dave,

If you are running RHEL3 or FC3, it's pretty straightforward.  You'll
first want to install the "mod_authz_ldap" RPM.  Then, in pf.conf, set
registration.authentication to "ldap".  This will cause PF to append
/usr/local/pf/conf/templates/ldap.conf to httpd.conf before starting
which will enable LDAP authentication.  You'll need to edit
/usr/local/pf/conf/templates/ldap.conf with your own values (server,
bindDN, baseDN, etc) but it should be pretty much plug-and-play.

PF relies on apache to do its authentication, so the process is pretty
much identical for any method supported by apache:

* install the apache module - RHEL3 comes with only a few, so source is
probably the way to go for anything but LDAP

* create a /usr/local/pf/conf/templates/blah.conf where "blah" is an
arbitrary but useful string (say "pop3.conf" if you were using a POP3
server for auth).  Use local.conf and ldap.conf as examples, and add
module-specific configuration info.

* set registration.authorization to "pop3" and restart PF. It should
just work.

Let me know if you need any other help getting things going.

thanks!
Dave

hello,
I get this message when i enable ldap

Invalid command 'AuthAuthoritative', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a 
module not included in the server configuration

any ideas?

thanks
