Hi,

Sorry if it is OP topic, forgive me! I am implementing a web based service using PerlCGI + Apache +Ldap authentication. I successfully implemented the service with PerlCGI with Apache and able to access the webpage, to allow the access for only authenticated users I am trying to integrate apache with ldap server. 

<Directory "/home/xxxxx/apache2/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options +ExecCGI
    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .py .pl
    order allow,deny
    allow from all
    AuthName "DOMAIN Active Directory"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthBasicProvider ldap
    AuthLDAPURL "ldap://xxx.xx.xxx.xx:389/DC=DOMAIN,dc=com?sAMAccountN
+ame?sub?(objectClass=Person)"
    AuthLDAPBindDN "CN=user_id,DC=DOMAIN,DC=com"
    AuthLDAPBindPassword "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    Require valid-user
</Directory>

When I hit the url it prompts for username and password, but its not authenticating successfully.

In error.log I see below error,

It seems the authentication password is wrong, but I am using the same password with ldapsearch it successfully fetches the account details from the ldap server.

ldapsearch -H ldap://xx.xx.xx.xx:389 -x -D "DOMAIN\user_id" -W -b "dc=
+DOMAIN,dc=com" -s sub "(&(sAMAccountName=user_id)(objectClass=Person)

Could somebody help me out here. Thanks in advance.
