hi

I need a little help. I am implementing LDAP services in my college. The apache LDAP authentication works fine with any directory viz.

/var/www/*/*

/home/username/

but it doesn't works with

/home/username/public_html/anyfolder/

i.e with a subfolder in public_html.

The issue is whenever i write the lines in http.conf the folder stops appearing in the browser. i dont see the folder when i browse http://localhost/~username/foldername http://localhost/%7Eusername/foldername

i don't see the folder in browser.

lines in http.conf file

<Directory /home/vikasmarwaha/public_html/private/> Authtype Basic AuthName "Secured Area : Vikas Marwaha's Page : Secured with LDAP : Authorized personal only" AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on AuthLDAPURL "ldap://127.0.0.1:389/ou=People,dc=example,dc=com?uid http://127.0.0.1:389/ou=People,dc=example,dc=com?uid?" require ldap-user vikasmarwaha

</Directory>

Please tell me where am i wrong.!

this one works perfect..

<Directory /home/vikasmarwaha/> Authtype Basic AuthName "Secured Area : Vikas Marwaha's Page : Secured with LDAP : Authorized personal only" AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on AuthLDAPURL "ldap://127.0.0.1:389/ou=People,dc=example,dc=com?uid http://127.0.0.1:389/ou=People,dc=example,dc=com?uid?" require ldap-user vikasmarwaha

</Directory>

but it doesn't satisfies my requirements. Need to secure the subfolder(under public_html -- user's web space.) not the whole user directory.

Is /home/username/public_html a symlink to a real directory? You might have to apply the <Directory></Directory> settings on that directory if that is the case.
