Apache secure access for specific AD users/groups only


Hi ,

We have working mediawiki service running on Centos 5 with httpd 2.2 .Users may have either http or https access to the server .

Now we would like to grant web access to specific AD users/groups only . At present it works with Basic type authentication but in this way users credentials are being passed passed in clear text ( port 80 )

How to make users accounts and password will be passed encrypted and limit their https ( I assume ) access based on users group membership in AD ?

Possible solution - close port 80 and leave 443 only ? In this way users won't get username/password window prompt as with Basic authentication .

Here it is working configuration :

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/wiki"
ServerName spedia.example.com
ServerAlias spedia

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None


## After user provides his username/pw all traffic will be redirected to https :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !443
RewriteRule (.*)$ https://example.com [R]

AuthName "Welcome to Spedia "
# Do basic password authentication in the clear
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthLDAPBindDN "CN=LDAP_ANONYMOUS,OU=users,OU=…,DC=…,DC=com"

AuthLDAPBindPassword "password"
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://localdc.com:3268/DC=..,DC=com?sAMAccountName?"
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberUid

# Require authentication for this Location
Require valid-user

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


Any ideas ?

Thanks .

Check you rewrite condition.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
