I'm having considerable difficulty crafting authorization rules for a .htaccess file. Here are the requirements:

    Using Apache 2.2 on Solaris
    Must use .htaccess, not httpd.conf
    Must allow specific named users
    Must also allow unauthenticated access from a specific IP address
    Must also allow access to members of a specific LDAP group

The LDAP configs are set in the httpd.conf so all a .htaccess needs to do is the require directives.

I can get #3 working by itself and also together with #4. I can get #5 working by itself and also with #4. I cannot get #3 and #5 working together. Whenever I have a require ldap-group line it ignores the require user line.

Here's what I've got:

Code:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Blah"

require user alice bob carol
require ldap-group cn=foo,ou=...

deny from all
allow from 1.2.3.4
satisfy any


As it stands, alice, bob, carol cannot get in unless they are in group foo. Anyone in group foo can get in. 1.2.3.4 can get in without authenticating. How do I get it to also allow alice, bob, and carol?

Take out the require ldap-group line and now alice, bob, and carol can get in. I've tried more combinations than I can remember let alone list here. Is there a debug mode that will get Apache to log its reasoning?

Are those users in a password file or in the ldap, too?

They're also in LDAP. httpd.conf specifies that Basic-Auth is done via LDAP:

Code:
LDAPTrustedGlobalCert CA_BASE64 /opt/ssl.ldapcerts/cacert.pem
<Directory />
    <Limit GET POST HEAD>
      Order allow,deny
      allow from all
    </Limit>
    Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI Includes
    AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Limit Options
    Header set Cache-Control private
    AuthBasicProvider ldap file
    AuthBasicAuthoritative off
    AuthUserFile /dev/null
    AuthLDAPUrl "ldaps:[redacted]"
</Directory>
