=======================
mod_ldap_userdir is a module that enables the Apache web server to look up
user home directories (for /~user URLs) from an LDAP directory.

1. Author
=========
John Morrissey, <jwm@horde.net>,
http://horde.net/~jwm/software/mod_ldap_userdir/. Feedback is much
appreciated. If you're using mod_ldap_userdir successfully, are having
problems getting mod_ldap_userdir up and running at your site, or have some
code improvements or ideas for development, please let me know!
============
2. Licensing
============
mod_ldap_userdir is licensed under the GPL, with an exception to allow for
linking against OpenSSL:
The linking of mod_ldap_userdir with OpenSSL is allowed. You may distribute
the resulting executable without including the source code for OpenSSL in
the source distribution.
================================================
3. How do I install and set up mod_ldap_userdir?
================================================
* gzip -dc mod_ldap_userdir-1.1.7.tar.gz | tar xf -
* cd mod_ldap_userdir-1.1.7
* ./configure --with-activate
* make
* make install
If the installation fails and you manually copy mod_userdir_ldap.so into
place, you will need to add something like:
LoadModule ldap_userdir_module modules/mod_ldap_userdir.so
to your httpd.conf.
* If your LDAP server runs OpenLDAP 1.x, you need to add the posixAccount
schema definition. Add the contents of posixAccount-objectclass to your
slapd.oc.conf and restart your LDAP server. OpenLDAP 2.x (and most other
LDAP servers) ship with this schema predefined.
* The 'user-ldif' file contains a sample user ldif. Modify it to your liking
and say ldapadd -D your-root-dn -w your-root-dn-password < ldif
* You are *strongly* encouraged to read up on the LDAP config-file
directives in the DIRECTIVES file, included with the distribution. At bare
minimum, you'll need to have LDAPUserDir, LDAPUserDirDNInfo, and
LDAPUserDirBaseDN configuration directives in your httpd.conf.
A set of basic mod_ldap_userdir configuration directives would look like:
LDAPUserDir public_html
LDAPUserDirDNInfo cn=your-dn,dc=example,dc=com dnpass
LDAPUserDirBaseDN ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
Of course, you will need to update these configuration directives with
the proper values for your environment.
==========
4. Changes
==========
v1.1.7:
* Add LDAPUserDirHomeAttribute attribute instead of depending on a
build-time change to switch the homeDirectory attribute's name, loosely
based on code by O'Shaughnessy Evans <shaug@wumpus.org>.
* Now running module/child init handlers for Apache 2, too.
* Remove child exit handler; I can't find a good way to replicate this
with Apache 2's hooks and it's not really necessary anyway, since the
connection will be closed on child exit.
v1.1.6:
* Fix Apache 2-ism that crept into v1.1.5. Tohru Murakami
<murakami-toru@nexs.nec.co.jp> and Jerome Spenlehauer
<j.spenlehauer@calixo.net>.
v1.1.5:
* Add suexec hooks for Apache 2, contributed by Marc Lewis <marc@blarg.net>.
v1.1.4:
* Fixed bug that prevented startup if LDAPUserDirSearchScope was configured.
v1.1.3:
* Fixed Apache2-isms that crept into 1.1.2.
v1.1.2:
* Update the mod_ldap_userdir version added by ap_add_version_component.
* Build fixes for Netware and Win32 by Guenter Knauf <gk@gknw.de>.
* Support for wildcards and redirection by Shyokou Ouyou
<shyokou@scientist.com>.
v1.1.1:
* Compilation fix for platforms that don't define TRUE in their headers.
v1.1:
* Apache 2.x support. Thanks to Shane Boulter (sboulter at ariasolutions dot
com) for providing an account with which I could implement Apache 2.x
support.
* Improved build system.
* Got rid of dependency on ldap_build_filter(), which will fix builds against
OpenLDAP 2.1.x, Novell eDirectory and a couple others.
* Postcard-ware licensing addition.
v1.0.1:
* Fixed a couple hard-coded references to the "homeDirectory" attr. (Thanks
to Christian Zoffoli [czoffoli at xmerlin dot org] for pointing this out.)
v1.0:
* Initial revision of standalone module. mod_ldap_userdir includes the same
functionality as apache-userdirldap 1.5 and adds TLS/SSL support for
connections to the LDAP server.
========
5. To Do
========
* Currently, nothing.

6. Thanks

* Everyone who's downloaded, used and/or offered feedback.
