Integrated Windows Authentication with Apache HTTP Server on Linux

Question

What is the best way to enable Integrated Windows Authentication for a PHP web application running on Apache2/Linux? There is a Windows Domain Controller in the network which should be used for authentication.

I found these apache modules:

• mod_auth_kerb
• mod_auth_ntlm_winbind

But these modules seem to be very outdated (last updated 2007/2008). Is there a better, more up-to-date way to do this?

Solution

I believe WDC speaks LDAP, in which case you probably want mod_authnz_ldap instead.

Yes, but this requires using Basic Authentication which prompts for username/password. I want to use the login information of the windows session so that the user doesn't has to enter his credentials again (single-sign-on).
