using ldap with zimbra apache

[tikigod]

zimbra n00b
5.0.0GA RHEL4 x86_64
loaded mod_authz_ldap and tried to use, but errored on "authtype ldap". attempted to load mod_ldap but apache wouldn't start with error on one of the symbols.

how do i implement ldap auth with zimbra's httpd?

dont. use your own version of apache, don't molest zimbra's.

Ok. I would think that Zimbra would allow ldap authentication, simply due to the fact that it provides ldap services. How odd that you can't authenticate against yourself?! Strange. Anyway, thanks.

do an ldd against the zimbra httpd, it's possible it's resolving against system ldap libs rather than zimbra ldap. prefix httpd startup with LD_LIBRARY_PATH to override, but really strongly recommended not to tamper with zimbra httpd.
