4.1.1 Authentication with the Web serverIt is possible to configure HTTP basic authentication for <strong>IBM</strong> HTTP Server (IHS)using the following user registries:► Files: group names, user names and encrypted passwords are stored in files.► Databases DBM and DB type database files are supported.►LDAP directories: users and groups are defined in an LDAP server, such as<strong>IBM</strong> SecureWay Directory Server. This can be the same LDAP server that<strong>WebSphere</strong> uses for its user registry.In this section, we will present a simple scenario of how to implement basicHTTP authentication for the Web server when user registry is stored in LDAPdirectory.To test the scenario, we have used the following products:► <strong>IBM</strong> HTTP Server, version 1.3.24, which comes with <strong>WebSphere</strong> ApplicationServer <strong>V5.0</strong>► <strong>IBM</strong> Secure Way Directory Server, Version 3.2.2, which comes with TivoliAccess Manager 3.9► <strong>IBM</strong> DB2 v7.2 FP5All products have been installed on a single server. If the LDAP server anddatabase server are on a different machines, client access software for DB2 andLDAP server will be necessary. The LDAP client software can be downloaded forfrom:http://www-4.ibm.com/software/network/directory/downloads.We will enable security for all the static Web components in theC:\<strong>IBM</strong>HttpServer\htdocs\en_us directory.The following instructions assume that all the software is installed and youalready have an LDAP server populated with users. See Section 10.13.1, “<strong>IBM</strong>SecureWay Directory Server V3.2.2” on page 318 for details on how to do this.The following steps will show you how to enable basic authentication for <strong>IBM</strong>HTTP Server.Prepare the necessary configuration filesThe following steps will show you which files need to be defined for the Webserver and also how to use those files.Chapter 4.
