Greetings, Trey,

In fact, what I had done was to add line

```
+ : apache : ALL
```

to `/etc/security/access.conf`. That was the extra step I mentioned yesterday, earlier in this thread, that I had to perform to make things work.

Just now, I tried specifying `sudo` in place of `ALL`, but that did not work.

I am reluctant to modify PAM configurations because that is something that we do very rarely, if at all, whereas modifying `access.conf` is a basic configuration action (typically by specifying Active Directory groups), so it is a typical place to look for changes.

I guess we have reached an end stage here. Thank you for your time looking into this.

Regards,  
Eric
