i had some trouble to bring auth_ldap to work. I solved the problems but not to my complete satisfaction. The reason for this is the way auth_ldap does the authentication with the ldap server.
Here the sequence of operations auth_ldap does in a default ldap setup. In this setup anyone has read access to all data (except passwords) of the directory.
Use the AuthLDAPBindDN and AuthLDAPBindPassword directives to solve this. Details are in the manual.
I do. Can you please reread my previous post. That is not the problem. The problem is that for the first user auth_ldap binds as admin with the binddn and the bindpassword provided in the httpd.conf. But then auth_ldap binds as the user that has authenticated. The problem is that this user may not have enough previleges to do further searches. But auth_ldap uses searches as part of the authentication process.
