mod_auth_winbind for apache in centos.
 

Hi,

I resolved this issue and wanted to share with you all.I wanted to install a apache server with NTLM support and i had 3 options.

1. mod NTLM ( Old and obsolete)
2. mod_apacheauthentlm (didn't work in my application)
3. mod_auth_winbind ( I used CENTOS)

I perefered third option. you need to do the following steps for this work.

1. install httpd httpd-devel(Required for mod_auth_winbind Compilation.)
2. kerberos and samba
3. configure kerbero and samba.
4. add system to windows doamin.
