[Packetfence-users] LDAP Authentication in ZEN 0.1

[Terhune, J. <Joh...@cu...>]

I'm having a bit of trouble configuring ldap authentication in PF ZEN
0.1. Out of the box almost everything works properly but I cannot seem
to get pf to authenticate to anything but local.

 

Here is what I have done to try to get ldap authentication working:

 

I installed the apache ldap module with "yum install mod_authz_ldap"

I configured pf.conf to include ldap as an auth type with "auth=ldap"

I configured ldap.conf to match our server settings.

I restarted packetfence.

 

After this, I am presented with the error:

 

Syntax error on line 268 of /usr/local/pf/conf/httpd.conf:

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

 

If I comment out the 'AuthAuthoritative' line in templates/ldap.conf it
seems to work.

 

On a redirected client, however, when I click register I am not prompted
with a login dialogue, but am given a page that says:

 

"Authorization Required: This server could not verify that you are
authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the
wrong credentials (e.g. bad password), or your browser doesn't
understand how to supply the credentials required."

 

Is there any documentation about setting up ldap authentication that I
am missing? What glaring error am I making? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

 

Thanks,
