Hi All,

I'm trying to implement a secure authentication from an apache2 server
across to my SBS2003 server.

I've configured LDAP in apache, and if I bind using a Domain Admin
account then all is well and I can login.

However, I don't really want to use a domain admin account for this.
So I setup a new user account, and have tried using that but the bind
fails. I'm guessing its a permissions issue, but am not sure where to
start to look.

Second, am I using the right mechanism here? Isn't LDAP for directory
lookups and Kerberos for authentication??

Novell has a great guide pertains to SuSE for LDAP authentication.
Unfortunately, I no longer have the link, but try their site. The
guide works for all major distros.
