Enabling Basic Authentication on IBM HTTP Server
|
|
|
| I've enabled Basic authentication on IBM HTTP Server to authenticate against users stored in an iPlanet Directory Server.
In the httpd.conf file, I am using the ldap.dll from IBM SecureWay 3.2.2 client by defining:
LoadFile "C:\Program files\ibm\LDAP\bin\ldap.dll"
LoadModule ibm_ldap_module modules/IBMModuleLDAP.dll
Now when I access a resource in the web server it prompts for username and password.
But when I provide the info in the challenge box and click ok, an application error occurs from the web server which says:
The instruction at "blah blah" referenced memory at "blah blah". The memory could not be read.
In the web server error log, I can see the following logged:
[Tue Dec 02 17:07:25 2003] [error] mod_ibm_ldap: ibm_set_unrestricted_cipher_support() returned -31
[Tue Dec 02 17:07:25 2003] [error] mod_ibm_ldap: cipher support will be restricted
Can some one tell me what could be going wrong here.
Thanks in advance,
dw

| What version of IHS are you using? I would strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version, specifically 1.3.26.X, if at all possible. If you can't go to 1.3.28, at least upgrade to the latest subversion (1.3.12.7 if at 1.3.12.2 for example) I also think 1.3.28.0 is about to come out.

| I was using the IBM HTTP Server that was installed as part of WebSphere. It was 1.3.19.
As per your suggestion I upgraded this to 1.3.26.
But still I am getting this application error.
This time there was no error like ibm_set_unrestricted_cipher_support() returned -31 was reported.
Nothing is logged but this application error dialog box pops up and the web server restarts by itself when I enter username/password and submit.

| Hum, I never really worried about the ibm_set_unrestricted_cipher_support message. Did you upgrade to IHS 1.3.26.2? or just IHS 1.3.26.0? If 1.3.26.0, I would make sure you go up to 1.3.26.2. Also, good chance you might need to update your ldap client to a newer version (4.1 I think).
When 1.3.28.0 comes out, a separate ldap client will not be required.
I am not saying this will fix the problem, but much easier to try to figure out what is going on when you are on latest version.
thanks,
Mark
