The Question is: I am interested in using HP's Secure Web Server (based on Apache) for my Intranet. I would like to be able to validate users and passwords for access to certain directories and would like to use their Windows Password. I currently use Advanced Server 7.3A, External Authentication, and Multinet 4.4, and secure web server 2.0. My VMS usernames and Windows Usernames match. I can't use Auth_OpenVms because it won't authorize anyone with external autentication. It seems my options might be Auth_Kerb (which is listed in the Installation guide's module list) and Auth_LDAP which isn't. When I try Auth_Kerb, it won't startup. It returns a message "Can't locate API module structure `auth_kerb_module' in file /apache$root/000000 /modules/mod_auth_kerb: function not implemented". Is it dependent on another module being loaded? Or is multinet's Kerberos Lib not compatible? When I try mod_Auth_LDap and mod_LDap, I get a stack dump at authentication time. In addition, the Apache log shows a message "LDAP: Built with unknown LDAP SDK". LDap is not listed in the installation guide's module list, but is in the modules directo ry. Is there a recommended way of validating Windows Passwords? Thanks Bill The Answer is : Have you followed the instructions on configuring mod_auth_kerb for loading during the SWS/Apache startup? This normally involves adding a LoadModule entry in httpd.conf, and setting the Apache authentication type to Kerberos. It also involves configuring and starting Kerberos on OpenVMS, configuring and loading the certificates for Apache, and other related steps, of course -- the generic Apache documentation and generic Kerberos on Apache discussions are appropriate references here, of course. The OpenVMS Wizard is not in a position to provide details of the Process Multinet implementation nor specific requirements.
