Description Mark Young 2005-03-02 11:03:12 UTC 
I have found that the ldap-status handler only reports details if it is
configured outside of a VirtualHost. If it is inside a VirtualHost then the
ldap-status page only displays the title "LDAP Cache Information".

So I got my ssl configuration to work by commenting out the VirtualHost tags:

        #<VirtualHost *:443>
        #</VirtualHost>

Then I had to turn off the "SSLEngine off" in the default HTTP configuration.
Comment 1 Mark Young 2005-03-02 11:12:15 UTC 
I have confirmed, through testing, that all ldap lookups are going out to the
ldap server, as verified by network tracing, on each page access. This is not
just a problem with the ldap-status page display, the problem is that all page
accesses are delayed by about 3 seconds whilst ldap lookups take place.

I was able to put the cache-handler as well as auth_ldap configuration 
directive within a virtual host and everything worked as expected.  Are you 
sure you had the caching enabled?  Can you provide an example of a 
configuration that doesn't work?

Yes. I will do so. Sorry for the delay, I need to get a system that I can play
with to do this.

httpd.conf that shows the bug

I have seen the same problem on 2.0.54.  Attached is our (very ugly)
httpd.conf.  The problem is the same if I put the ldap-status bit inside the
virtual host.

I believe that ldap-status worked for us in 2.0.53...

  I tried to duplicate the same LDAP, SSL and virtual host configuration you 
have and I am still unable to duplcation the problem.  Everything seems to 
work as expected.

Please see this attachment for full details of how I can reproduce the ldap
cache not working.

Sorry, this is my first time using bugzilla. I didn't realise that I needed to 
change the status.
All the best,
Mark

Can you verify whether this bug is still present in v2.2.x of httpd?
Comment 10 Eric Covener 2010-12-04 07:31:35 UTC 
fixed in 2.2.16 and later
