I have created two pages. They are identified by node/2 and node/3. I have created a block on the right sidebar. I have created two menu items whose parent is this block. Menus item 1 has a node/2 path and menu item 2 has node/3.
In the node/2 page, I entered PHP code which create page content using a
" with a select box having onchange="document.location.href='". $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']."?id=... property.
The Webserver Auth is an excellent tool for using an Active Directory server for single-sign on in drupal. Unfortunately, I've had limited success in setting up the webserver authentication.
There is a module (Apache 2.0, Apache 2.2) for authenticating against an LDAP server, but I haven't been able to correctly set up an Apache directive to completely authenticate against our Active Directory server. Microsoft seems to recommend Kerberos authentication - is that easier to setup than LDAP authentication?
Some nodes have discussed AD integration to some extent [1]. While this is more of an apache oriented question, I thought it would be useful for other drupal users to have an example of a working Apache AD lookup directive. I don't know too much about AD, I've just been playing off of examples I've found on the net.
The directive I'm using is able to query our AD server, and the AD server log indicates that a correct username/password were found in the server, but the Apache server returns an Error 401, Authentication Required (This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the URL) and the Apache error log states that "auth_ldap authenticate: user joeshmoe authentication failed; URI / [ldap_search_ext_s() for user failed][No Such Object]".
For such a fantastic CMS system I find it crazy that the search is limited to simply page content and username. Why bother having profile fields that can be added if there is no functionality for other members to search and cross reference them?
In fact I would have thought having page / username / profile as optional selectable items to be included within the search indexing a very valuable and useful feature.
Is there a module available that fixes what I feel is a gaping hole in functionality :)
