Bitnami and NTLM SSO with Apache on Windows

Hi,

We have built an intranet on Wordpress using the Bitnami tool this last few months and it is ready to be deployed, however, we are wanting to do one last thing before we do this.

We want to get Single Sign on (SSO) working with Wordpress.

We are using https://active-directory-wp.com/ and it is working fine for Active Directory logins, however it will not allow SSO to work.

I have followed the below guide trying to get NTLM to work with Apace so SSO will work: https://active-directory-wp.com/docs/Networking/Single_Sign_On/NTLM_SSO_with_Apache_on_Windows.html

However, as soon as I add in "LoadModule auth_ntlm_module modules/mod_authn_ntlm.so" to the "C:\Bitnami\INTRANET\apache2\conf\httpd.conf" file the Apache Web Server will go not start. Removing that line of code allows the server to start.

Only shows this error when it stops: Stderr:
Unknown error starting apache
Starting Apache Web Server...
apache started

Is there anyone who is able to help me with this or point me in a direction that will enable the SSO to work with your Bitnami setup?

Thanks, Tom.

We are using this on Windows just to add.

Thanks, Tom.

Hi, @99tom,

We have a Support Tool that will gather relevant information for us to analyze your configuration and logs. Could you please execute it on the machine where the stack is running by following the steps described in the guide below?

Hi @99tom,

That .so file was created 3 years ago so we do not know if it's supported in the latest version of Apache. Apache returns the following error message when trying to load it

I suggest you ask the developers of that module to get more information about the error and how to proceed.

Thanks

Thanks for this.

Is it possible to get the Apache 2.2 version of your Bitnami WordPress Windows exe. Doesn't matter on the WP build as I will update this within the WP installation after original install.

Many thanks.

Hi @99tom,

We take the Apache binaries from here

https://www.apachelounge.com/download/

They don't provide Apache 2.2 anymore so the only solution I have in mind is to share with you an old installer with Apache 2.2. Please note that the stack was packaged in 2010 so it contains multiple security vulnerabilities.

Thank you, will await the installer package.

Thanks, Tom.

Hi,

Did you manage to find the old Bitnami package for me to test with?

Thanks, Tom.
