2017/06/27
 
Limit accesses on specific web pages and use Windows Active Directory users for authentication with SSL connection.
It's necessarry to be running Windows Active Directory in your LAN.
This example based on the environment below.
Domain Server : Windows Server 2016
Domain Name : FD3S01
Realm : SRV.WORLD
Hostname : fd3s.srv.world
[1] For example, set Kerberos Authentication under the directory [/var/www/html/auth-kerberos] and also set to be required SSL connection.

apt -y install libapache2-mod-auth-kerb
# specify Realm

 +------------------+ Configuring Kerberos Authentication +------------------+
 | When users attempt to use Kerberos and specify a principal or user name   |
 | without specifying what administrative Kerberos realm that principal      |
 | belongs to, the system appends the default realm.  The default realm may  |
 | also be used as the realm of a Kerberos service running on the local      |
 | machine.  Often, the default realm is the uppercase version of the local  |
 | DNS domain.                                                               |

Enabling site auth-kerberos.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  service apache2 reload
root@www:~#
systemctl restart apache2
# create a test page

Test Page for Kerberos Auth
</div>

[2] Access to the test page from a client computer with web browser. Then authentication is required like follows as a setting, answer with a user which is added in Active Directory.
