HPWS Apache and LDAP

Elmar Knipp — Mon, 24 May 2004 16:30:50 GMT

I have installed the precompiled HP-Webservices and are using the Apache Webserver Version 2.0.49. Everything works well.

I want to create a protected area and the authentication should be done with LDAP. The LDAP server works well. I configured Apache with the follwing part:

AuthType basic
AuthName "your ads go here"
AuthLDAPURL ldap://hpc3k.do.knipp.de/dc=knipp,dc=de?uid?sub?(objectCl
ass=*)"
require valid-user

When a user enters the site the login page appears. After typing in the login and password, the http daemon crashes:

[Mon May 24 23:10:25 2004] [notice] child pid 363 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

What is going on here? I tried it on an HP-UX PA-RISC 11.11 and also on an IA-64 11.23. The same effect.

I have the same problem on HPWS Apache 2.0.50 on HP-UX 11.00 and HP-UX 11.11.
I have also enabled DAV on directory. If I turn LDAP off then there are no more segmentation faults.

The last Apache version without this problem is 2.0.48

I found the solution:

When I thoroughly checked httpd.conf I found
that there are missing these lines because I
had commented out the include file for ldap:

LDAPSharedCacheFile logs/ldap_cache

After including those we have no problems
any more.
