<para>Additionally, you can enable HTTP authentication when using
"LDAP search". This way the web server is responsible to
authenticate your users. LAM will use the given user name + password
for the LDAP login. To setup HTTP authentication in Apache please
see this <ulink

login restrictions (e.g. require group memberships for login). To

<title>Use LDAP HTTP authentication for LAM</title>
<para>With HTTP authentication Apache will be responsible to ask for
the user name and password. Both will then be forwarded to LAM which
will use it to access LDAP. This approach gives you more flexibility
to restrict the number of users that may access LAM (e.g. by requiring
group memberships).</para>
<para>First of all you need to load additional Apache modules. These
are "<ulink
url="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</ulink>"
and "<ulink type=""
url="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html">mod_authnz_ldap</ulink>".</para>
<para>Next you can add a file called "lam_auth_ldap" to
/etc/apache/conf.d. This simple example restricts access to all URLs
beginning with "lam" to LDAP authentication.</para>
<programlisting>&lt;location /lam&gt;
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthName "LAM"
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://localhost:389/ou=People,dc=company,dc=com?uid"
Require valid-user
&lt;/location&gt;</programlisting>
<para>You can also require that your users belong to a certain Unix
group in LDAP:</para>
<programlisting>&lt;location /lam&gt;
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthName "LAM"
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://localhost:389/ou=People,dc=company,dc=com?uid"
Require valid-user
# force membership of lam-admins
AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberUid
AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off
Require ldap-group cn=lam-admins,ou=group,dc=company,dc=com
&lt;/location&gt;</programlisting>
