This is just a note for future reference. At some point, I’m going to want to make some webpages visible only to users in our ldap database. This is an example .htaccess file to do this:
Order allow,deny Allow from 192.168.23 AuthType Basic AuthName "Site Access" LDAP_Server ldapserver.uchicago.edu UID_Attr uid Base_DN "ou=people,dc=ldapserver,dc=uchicago,dc=edu" require valid-user satisfy any
or here’s another example I found
AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Access" AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldapserver.uchicago.edu/ou=people,dc=ldapserver,dc=uchicago,dc=edu?uid?one AuthLDAPCompareDNOnServer on Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 10.10.10. 111.111.111.111 satisfy any
I’m not yet sure how to make sure the authentication goes over a secure connection, but I don’t think that will be too hard.
