Overview

Customers may encounter a '403 Forbidden' error when directly accessing the updated AD module links for more recent RHEL/CentOS or Apache releases, such as RHEL 9 and Apache 2.4.53. The older AD Modules for previous releases are not working in your updated environment.

Solution

To resolve this issue, download the updated AD Apache module from the installer compressed zip for your release (ex. Xinet-2023.6.4.105-release-LINUX-9), available at the release portal. The required file can be found inside this folder, 'mod_auth_xinet2.so', which will be compatible with the RHEL version the installer package was created for.
