Arch Linux

Description:

I found apache comes without LDAP and LDAP support authentication. I downloaded PKGBUILD files of apr-util and apache and rebuild these packages such way now I can load the LDAP modules and authenticate my users using LDAP.

Is there any reason to exclude LDAP support from apache? If not I would like this feature was included. Apache LDAP is now working perfectly for me (and my organization).

Additional info:

It is necessary to include a new dependency on libldap package on apr-utils PKGBUILD. In order to compile both packages it is necesary too download openldap source code.

Here it is my changes to configure section of apr-util PKGBUILD

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-apr=/usr \
--without-pgsql --without-mysql --without-sqlite2 --without-sqlite3 \
--with-berkeley-db=/usr --with-gdbm=/usr \
--with-ldap=ldap \
--with-ldap-include=/path/to/openldap-2.3.39 \
--with-ldap-lib=/usr/lib

And here it is my changes to configure section of apache PKGBUILD

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-layout=RedHat --datadir=/home/httpd \
--enable-modules=all --enable-mods-shared=all \
--enable-ssl --enable-so --enable-authnz-ldap --enable-ldap \
--enable-proxy --enable-proxy-connect --enable-proxy-ftp \
--enable-proxy-http --enable-suexec --enable-dbd \
--enable-cache --enable-disk-cache --enable-mem-cache \
--with-apr=/usr --with-apr-util=/usr \
--with-ldap --with-ldap-sdk=openldap

There is no other changes needed.
