DESCRIPTION

Apache::AuthenLDAP is designed to work with mod_perl and Net::LDAP. This module authenticates a user against an LDAP backend. It can be combined with Apache::AuthzLDAP to provide LDAP authorization as well.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

The following variables can be defined within the configuration of Directory, Location, or Files blocks or within .htaccess files.

AuthenBaseDN

The base distinguished name with which to query LDAP. By default, the AuthenBaseDN is empty.

AuthenLDAPServer

The hostname for the LDAP server to query. By default, AuthenLDAPServer is set to localhost.

AuthenLDAPPort

The port on which the LDAP server is listening. By default, AuthenLDAPPort is set to 389.

AuthenUidAttrType

The attribute type name that contains the user's identification. By default, AuthenUidAttrType is set to uid.

NOTES

This module has hooks built into it to handle Apache::AuthenCache version 0.04 and higher passing notes to avoid bugs in the set_handlers() method in mod_perl versions 1.2x.
