So it seems like we burned all of our bridges. We had somebody working on it until we added it in. Then the author stopped so we took it out. Now we not only don't have anybody working on it, we also don't have it. IMO, if we put it back at least in experimental, maybe we can get developers working on it again (including the author). Like I mentioned before, Novell is very interested in LDAP and I have already started talking to our (Novell) LDAP developers to see if they would be willing to lend a hand. Directory authentication especially in the web world seems like an important thing to have. Why wouldn't we want LDAP authentication from Apache? Since the code already exists and seems to work, putting it into /experimental until it stabilizes seems like a simple thing to do.

The word I have from the author of the 1.3 mod_auth_ldap module is that he stopped working on it when he found out there was a version going to be bundled in 2.0. So there's already some negative fallout from the on again/off again bit. :-( -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!"
