I have an iPlanet 6.0 web server that does "Basic" HTTP authentication
for users. It looks up the users from a LDAP server. This is a pretty
standard configuration. The LDAP server, search base, and a DN to bind
to can easily be specified in the Admin Server web interface. The
information is actually stored in the <serverroot>/userdb/dbswitch.conf
file and can also be changed from there.
However, we would like to authenticate users that exist on the current
LDAP server or in a second directory on another server. I have been
looking through the documentation for a way to authenticate to a single
resource on the server from two different directories. Anyone know how
to do this or if it is possible? If not, anyone have good ideas for a
workaround?
It should be mentioned the second directory is actually Windows Active
Directory, but AFAIK, it speaks LDAP well enough that it should work
fine.
