RE: Apache and LDAP Authentification

["Ronald E. Fortin" <ref@mesasys.com>]

http://modules.apache.org , I was wondering if the authors could get together and make one that works, is supported and has all the
bells and whistles that people expect. This could then be shipped with either (or both) OpenLDAP and Apache.
