Description Vedanta Barooah 2005-07-29 13:14:22 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050725 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
The directive AuthzLDAPEngine is now obsolete since version 0.24 of mod_authz_ldap. the file  /etc/httpd/conf.d/authz_ldap.conf still has this directive which can be misleading.

from the mod_authz_ldap changelog: http://authzldap.othello.ch/ChangeLog
+---------------------------------------------+
[snip]
Release 0.24:
	* changed logic for configuration of authentication method and
	  certificate mapping, I believe it is now much more transparent,
	  but some directives have disappeared or changed
		AuthzLDAPEngine			-> AuthzLDAPMethod
						-> AuthzLDAPMapMethod
[/snip]
+---------------------------------------------+

version 0.26 also uses the two new directives namely AuthzLDAPMethod and AuthzLDAPMapMethod


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mod_authz_ldap-0.26-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/authz_ldap.conf
2.
3.
  

Expected Results:  Use correct directives: AuthzLDAPMethod, AuthzLDAPMapMethod

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2008-02-01 19:13:57 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".

Comment 4 Aleksander Adamowski 2010-01-20 11:12:52 UTC
Strange, this is quite a trivial change and it is very misleading to users - It's hitting every single admin who tries to configure mod_authz_ldap for the first time on a fresh server in our infrastructure (some dozens of RHEL installations).

Comment 5 Joe Orton 2012-05-10 14:53:56 UTC
This issue is fixed in RHEL6, and there are no plans to address it for RHEL4.

We always value feedback, but please note that Bugzilla is not a support tool.
If you have specific requests impacting your use of Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
please contact your support representative.
