Hi,
I try to setup access to several SVN repositories. They are located on a gentoo server (will probably be moved to a solaris system though). Authentification should be done against our ActiveDirectory Windows system - i.e. the SVN users will only need windows user name and
windows password.
I managed such a setup (with minimal restrictions) for one organizational unit. BUT now we get coworkers from a DIFFERENT OU. And now
the troubles start:
- The Base DN MUST contain the OU part (orga1 or orga2), otherwise mod_auth_ldap can't find the users.
- I can only specify one Base DN.
- The Sub_DN config parameter doesn't work.
- It is not described anyways if more than one Sub_DN is allowed.

A possible loophole would be some apache module which says essentially "Try LDAP config #1 first, config #2 second if the first one fails". Better of cours would be something which does a RECURSIVE ldap lookup in the subtree (like the "ldapsearch" program coming with openldap).

There is a "ldap" USE flag for apache2. I tried it once - and my old authorization didn't work anymore :-( It seems to add ANOTHER LDAP auth module, but it also
somehow impedes the old one.
I'm somewhat lost in the maze of all that modules - can someone help me? :-(

(Another question - according to the module homepage, the current module version is 2.16. What version is used by mod_auth_ldap)?
