Web Dev> Password protect webpage(s) with PHP & LDAP

May27

Written by Scott Rowley

The title says it all, this will allow you to restrict the access to a page or pages running php with access to LDAP. I’ve used this a few times for some internal things we don’t want everyone getting access to or similar scenarios. As always if it works for you, please leave a comment and if it doesn’t please leave a question and I’ll see what I can do to help you out.

Enable LDAP

First thing you’ll need to do is to install ldap for php & enable the needed mods, ldap.load & authnz_ldap.load

On Ubuntu:

apt-get update

apt-get install php5-ldap

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled

ln -s ../mods-available/ldap.load ldap.load

ln -s ../mods-available/authnz_ldap.load authnz_ldap.load

apache2ctl graceful

Web Dev> Force users from http to https

Tested and verified working for *nix servers:

Add the following to your .htaccess file in the root of your website:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =80
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI}

I don’t work with IIS so check the following link for information on setting up the redirect on IIS servers:
