Enhancement - Support LDAP Authentication #139

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Beside the other Authentication Methods there should also be the possiblity
to choose LDAP Authentication

You perhaps misunderstand the authentication process. Support is provided for 
Basic and Digest HTTP 
authentication methods. LDAP is not another authentication method in that 
sense, but a means of 
authenticating the credentials supplied through those authentication method.

As such, you could write a custom authentication provider using the already 
supplied hooks, which queries 
your LDAP directory to perform the authentication of the user credentials 
passed to the provider.

This though is not even required, as you would just use mod_authnz_ldap anyway. 
See:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html

Please explain further what you are talking about.

No followup from poster and not believed to be something mod_wsgi has to do, so 
closing.
