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 Additional info:
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 "?".
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).
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.
