NTLM Authentication for apt-get’ed Ubuntu

Following on from NTLM Authentication on Ubuntu and Apache2 Revisited this morning, this is how we modify the Apache2 configuration provided by apt in Ubuntu.Open /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default and find

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

Replace with

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
NTLMAuth On
AuthName "Authentication"
NTLMAuthHelper "/usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp"
NTLMBasicAuthoritative On
AuthType NTLM
require valid-user
</Directory>

Save and close.

Open /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Find, Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf

and add

LoadModule ntlm_winbind_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_auth_ntlm_winbind.so

Restart apache2. Job done.

Getting an Internal Server Error?

chmod 777 /var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged

and restart apache. You will need to add the above line to your /etc/rc.local to set the correct permissions every time you reboot, which won't be much.
