[UniMacTech] authenticating a OS X 10.5 web server

[Ross Glover]

Hello Folks,

 

We have a stand-alone web server running on OS X 10.5 and we would like
to limit access to some directories. 

 

Access on-campus access must be seamless (by ip) but off-campus access
would require username/password.

 

My limited understanding is that this would normally be done via an
auth-ldap-type module in Apache but the OS X 10.5 implementation doesn't
have this so presumably Apple have another method. One suggested
solution is to use Open Directory, apple_auth_module and Realms but I
don't see how this can work to allow on-campus without authentication.
Another is to re-compile Apache with the required modules.

 

As a complete novice in this area, I would welcome any advice on how to
proceed. 

 

Thanks you,

 

Ross.
