Hi,

We have an Apache web server running on a Linux box. And we have a
NT domain. Now I want to know to how to set up Apache server so that the
access to a web page can be controlled by NT login?

Thank you very much!

There are two modules which can be found via modules.apache.org:

Hi Christoph,

Thank you for your information. I checked the URLs
.
It looks like mod_auth_nt is desupported and replaced by mod_ntlm which only
works on Windows NT platform. However, our Apache is running on a Linux box.

mod_auth_ntdom looks like only supporting HTTP basic authentication which is
using clear text of user name and password. We really need the password
encrypted.

Are there other modules available? And since I don't know much about Apache
and Samba and how to build and setup them, where can I find help on these
topics?

Thank you very much for your help!

Xiaoqin

Unless you plan to use digest auth (which is not supported by all
browsers) or SSL, the password will always be sent in clear text.

Do you know how to implement SSL-encryption?

Thanks,

Works on Linux servers (though you need an NT box somewhere to do the
actual authentication).

Hi Dave,

Using mod_ntlm and setting up AuthType NTLM on Apache server will the
username and password transfered in plaintext from the brower through
network?

Thanks,

Hi,

If I add and use mod_ssl on my Linux Apache server, will all the data
transfering between browser and web server encrypted?

Does anyone know if modules -- mod_auth_ntdom and mod_ntlm (for using NT
domain authentication in Apache web server) work ok with mod_ssl?

Thank you very much!

Xiaoqin

Hmmm, Just what I need!
Has anybody got modntlm to work with solaris?
