Quick installation instructions (UNIX):

- Building on generic Unix:

  Add generic ldap support and the TWO ldap modules to the build, like this:

  ./configure --with-ldap --enable-ldap --enable-authnz-ldap

  The --with-ldap switches on LDAP library linking in apr-util. Make
  sure that you have an LDAP client library available such as those
  from Netscape/iPlanet/Sun One or the OpenLDAP project.

  The --enable-ldap option switches on the LDAP caching module. This
  module is a support module for other LDAP modules, and is not useful
  on its own.  This module is required, but caching can be disabled
  via the configuration directive LDAPCacheEntries.

  The --enable-auth-ldap option switches on the LDAP authentication
  module.

- Building on AIX:

  The following ./configure line is reported to work for AIX:

    CC=cc_r; export CC
    CPPFLAGS=-qcpluscmt;export CPPFLAGS
    ./configure --with-mpm=worker --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
      --enable-dav=static --enable-dav_fs=static --enable-ssl=static
      --with-ldap=yes --with-ldap-include=/usr/local/include
      --with-ldap-lib=/usr/local/lib --enable-ldap=static
      --enable-authnz-ldap=static


Quick installation instructions (win32):

1. copy the file srclib\apr-util\include\apr_ldap.hw to apr_ldap.h
2. the netscape/iplanet ldap libraries are installed in srclib\ldap
3. Compile the two modules util_ldap and mod_authnz_ldap using the dsp files
4. You get a mod_authnz_ldap.so and a mod_ldap.so module
5. Put them in the modules directory, don't forget to copy the
   nsldap32v50.dll somewhere where httpd.exe will find it
6. Load the two modules in your httpd.conf, like below:
   LoadModule ldap_module modules/mod_ldap.so
   LoadModule authnz_ldap_module modules/mod_authnz_ldap.so
7. Configure the directories as described in the docus.
