Apache+LDAP Auth and OpenCA Self-signed Cert Tutorial

groundhog00 writes "Posted recently from was an Apache + Basic authentication and self-signed digital certificates article. I thought people might find interest in doing a more scalable solution using parts of the PKI structure with mod_auth_ldap and Apache to communicate with an OpenLDAP server to get basic scalable authentication AND digital certificates using OpenCA as the your homegrown certificate authority. Here are some documents for setting up the certificate authority and getting certificates installed using Internet Explorer 5.x and Netscape 4.x browsers. There will be LDAP configurations for Apache soon, but this is a pretty decent set of documents to start with."
