Hi Andrew.
I'm sure these kind of questions are best answered on httpd-

there are two options here.
you can either use apaches authentication handling, which will prompt
you with a dialog for a user/password
OR
you can use rewrite and do a cookie check which redirects non-cookied
people to a special page which does the LDAP
lookup and cookie setting.
Some people @ columbia wrote a module called mod_auth_pamacea does
this I believe. the only caveats I see with it are
:- it is GPL
:- the session manager it uses is file based, which won't scale
(their words) but you could change the session manager to use
a mysql DB or somesuch if you need scalability

We are trying to shut down web access to all our networked printers on
campus "the easy way": set up a proxy server through which only
selected people can access the printers. The authentication can be
done
using LDAP.
A couple of methods have been suggested, and I am researching them
now:
(1) mod_ssl + mod_auth_ldap + mod_proxy
(2) mod_ssl + mod_authz_ldap + mod_proxy
(3) mod_ssl + A nice little PHP login page that queries LDAP before
turning things over to mod_proxy.
So far I have had success with setting up a virtual host as a forward
proxy and with activating SSL for LDAP queries through a login
page, but
I'm really confused about something: how could I set things up so
users
visit some login page, their credentials are checked through LDAP, and
then they are forwarded to the printer they want?
Does anyone have any suggestions, or has anyone tried this and gotten
anywhere? Thanks for your time.
Best,
Andrew

Hello--
I have some questions that are not development questions, but I
couldn't find a list for just the use of mod_proxy. Does anyone know
of
a list that might be appropriate?
Thank you,
Andrew
