Apache2/LDAP Query

cyberblitz · 06-16-2012, 06:06 PM

I have set up LDAP to authorise into a Apache2 website but once i've logged in thats it, it never asks again. Is there a way to configure it so it would ask every time I enter the web address??

Here is my global settings in httpd.conf (I'm using Ubuntu Server)

This is a browser issue.
Once authenticated, the browser browser keeps the credentials used, so it passes them to the webserver on every subsequent request to speed things up. This happens for the entire browser session, so you need to restart your browser to start a new session asking again for the auth credentials. You can read more here
