Apache LDAP with Foxpass

Using Foxpass LDAP for auth using mod_ldap, authnz_ldap

Suggest Edits

This example is for Ubuntu 14.04. Your mileage may vary.

1. Install Apache and needed modules

$ sudo apt-get install apache2
$ sudo a2enmod ldap
$ sudo a2enmod authnz_ldap
$ sudo service apache2 restart

2. Create the binder accounts on Foxpass

On this page. Note the passwords, you'll need them again.

Here's an example binder account: cn=logs,dc=example,dc=com

3. Set up Apache

Replace dc=example,dc=com, cn=logs,dc=example,dc=com, with the appropriate values from your domain and setup.

# Apache .conf files to expose a directory protected by Foxpass
Listen 8888

<VirtualHost *:8888>

        Alias /logs /home/user/logs

        <Directory /home/user/logs>
                Options +Indexes
                AuthType Basic
                AuthBasicProvider ldap
                AuthName "Foxpass"
                AuthLDAPBindDN cn=logs,dc=example,dc=com
                AuthLDAPBindPassword <BINDER PASSWORD>
                AuthLDAPURL ldaps://ldap.foxpass.com/dc=example,dc=com?uid
                require valid-user
        </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

4. Apache setup for Graphite (or similar website)

Replace dc=example,dc=com, cn=logs,dc=example,dc=com, with the appropriate values from your domain and setup.

Listen 8888

<VirtualHost *:8888>

        <Location "/">
                AuthType Basic
                AuthBasicProvider ldap
                AuthName "Foxpass"
                AuthLDAPBindDN cn=graphite,dc=example,dc=com
                AuthLDAPBindPassword <BINDER PASSWORD>
                AuthLDAPURL ldaps://ldap.foxpass.com/dc=example,dc=com?uid
                require valid-user
        </Location>
