DESCRIPTION

Apache::AuthzLDAP is designed to work with mod_perl and Net::LDAP. This module authorizes a user against an LDAP backend. It can be combined with Apache::AuthenLDAP to provide LDAP authentication 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 for purposes of authentication. By default, the AuthenBaseDN is blank.

AuthzBaseDN
The base distinguished name with which to query LDAP for purposes of authorization. By default, the AuthzBaseDN is blank.

AuthzGroupAttrType
The attribute type name that contains the group's identification. By default, AuthzGroupAttrType is set to cn.

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

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

AuthzMemberAttrType
The attribute type name that contains the group member's identification. By default, AuthzMemberAttrType is set to member.

AuthzMemberAttrValue
The attribute value contained within the AuthzMemberAttrType above. By default, AuthzMemberAttrValue is set to cn.

AuthzNestedGroups
When the AuthzNestedGroups value is on, a recursive group search occurs until the user is found in a group or the deepest group's member list does not contain any groups. By default, AuthzNestedGroups is set to off.

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

NOTES

This module has hooks built into it to handle Apache::AuthzCache version 0.02 and higher passing notes to avoid bugs in the set_handlers() method in mod_perl versions 1.2x.
