Getting those to work is not that difficult, but a LOT of site keep nagging about using:

LDAP_Server

You will get something like:

Invalid command ‘LDAP_Server’

Prerequisites are:

– Apache 2 under Debian
– Installed and working (open)LDAP

Something like; apt-get install apache2

Symbolic link the dav_load in mods-available/ to mods-enabled/. Do the same with auth_ldap.load and dav_fs.conf and dav_fs.load.

Then add the following to apache2.conf:

Listen 666
<VirtualHost *:666>
DAVLockDB /var/lib/dav/lockdb

Alias /share /home/share

<Location “/share”>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
order allow,deny
allow from all

DAV On
AuthType Basic

AuthLDAPBindDN cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=com
AuthLDAPBindPassword SOMEPASS
AuthLDAPURL ldap://127.0.0.1/ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com?uid?sub?(objectClass=*)

AuthName “Repository Access”
Require valid-user
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

/home/share

will be shared now under;

http://somedomain/share

You can use SSL by putting:

SSLEngine On

in the <Location> directive.

I had a problem that I also use Samba and SCP for access on the same system, meaning that there could be a potential sharing access problem; everything must be written with group user and then made 770 directory/file mask.
To fix this, put in /etc/init.d/apache2

umask 0007

somewhere at the start and restart Apache. It will work..
