I receive the following error when attempting to start apache through the init.d script:

*apache2: Syntax error on line 186 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 4 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/auth_sm.conf: Cannot load /apps/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm22.so into server: libsmerrlog.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory*

SiteMinder does not officially support Ubuntu, so I am having trouble finding any configuration documentation to help me troubleshoot this issue.

I successfully installed the SiteMinder binaries and registered the trusted host with the server, but I am having trouble getting the apache mod to load correctly.

I have added the following lines to a new auth_sm.conf file in /etc/apache2/mods-available and symlinked to it in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled:

SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /apps/netegrity/webagent/bin
SetEnv PATH ${PATH}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

LoadModule sm_module /apps/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm22.so
SmInitFile "/etc/apache2/WebAgent.conf"

Alias /siteminderagent/pwcgi/ "/apps/netegrity/webagent/pw/"

<Directory "/apps/netegrity/webagent/pw/">
   Options Indexes MultiViews ExecCGI
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

UPDATE: Output of ldd libmod_sm22.so:

UPDATE:

The easiest way to set environment variables for the Apache run user in Ubuntu is to edit the /etc/apache2/envvars file and add export statements for any library paths you may need
