I am having difficulty finding a way to restrict access to a page in ExpressionEngine via HTTP Authentication through LDAP. I’ve enabled HTTP Authentication for a template and it works fine however I would like to be able to authenticate using LDAP instead of using a EE member account. I’ve successfully secured files through LDAP using a .htaccess file on our Linux box however I would like to be able to do the same thing with a web page served up by ExpressionEngine. Is this a possibility?

Hi troys,

You won’t be able to integrate ExpressionEngine HTTP Authentication that closely, not without an add-on. There are a couple on Devot:ee that let you connect ExpressionEngine to LDAP. Then you should be able to restrict template access as needed!

Cheers,

Thanks Dan! I’ll give the LDAP Authentication add-on a try.
