Configuring Apache HTTPD for LDAP
--------------------------------------------------------------------
   01. Navigate to the Apache install directory/conf in Explorer
   02. Edit httpd.conf in a text editor
   03. Find the authnz_ldap_module and make sure it is enabled by removing the # at the start of the line
         LoadModule authnz_ldap_module modules/mod_authnz_ldap.so
   04. Find the ldap_module and make sure it is enabled by removing the # at the start of the line
         LoadModule ldap_module modules/mod_ldap.so
   05. Create a Location block to enable LDAP authentication for the specified directory
         ≪location /ldaptest≫
         # Basic authentication with LDAP against MS AD
         AuthType Basic
         AuthBasicProvider ldap
         # AuthLDAPURL specifies the LDAP server IP, port, base DN, scope and filter
         # using this format: ldap://host:port/basedn?attribute?scope?filter
         AuthLDAPURL "ldap://i12bretro.local:389/DC=i12bretro,DC=local?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=user)" NONE
         # The LDAP bind username and password
         AuthLDAPBindDN "readonly_svc@i12bretro.local"
         AuthLDAPBindPassword "Read0nly!!"
         LDAPReferrals Off
         AuthUserFile /dev/null
         AuthName "Restricted Area [i12bretro.local]"
         # to authenticate a domain group, specify the full DN
         AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN on
         require ldap-group CN=WebAuthAccess,CN=Users,DC=i12bretro,DC=local
         ≪/location≫
   06. Save httpd.conf
   07. Restart the Apache service
   08. Open a browser and navigate to the LDAP authenticated URL
   09. An authentication prompt should appear, allowing only users in the AD group specified access
