-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Folks, I use LDAP authentication a lot here at our Institute, and with mod_auth_ldap coming and going in Red Hat (here before RH 8, gone in RH 8 and 8, back in Fedora, but gone in RH enterprise 3...), I realised that Perl is the way to keep my sanity. I used Apache::AuthNetLDAP after Mark Wilcox wrote it, but I needed the capability of using filters to select only one class to authenticate for a quiz, so I added it.
Now I need start_tls and one level scope makes sense for us, so I have added and documented the options: PerlSetVar LDAPFilter PerlSetVar UseStartTLS PerlSetVar SearchScope to regain the flexibility that an RFC 2255 LDAP URL provides. So here is my patch. It is rather big, because there are a number of formatting errors in the POD that needed correcting, as well as the documentation that I've written. I would be prepared to split the patch into small pieces that only change one thing at a time if you are too busy to look at this single patch in its entirety. I would be really glad if these changes can be incorporated into Apache::AuthNetLDAP so that I can go sudo -MCPAN -e 'install Apache::AuthNetLDAP' on a new server instead of having to patch each new release by hand. I would be very glad of any feedback. - -- Nick Urbanik RHCE nicku(at)vtc.edu.hk Dept. of Information & Communications Technology Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tsing Yi) Tel: (852) 2436 8576, (852) 2436 8713 Fax: (852) 2436 8526 GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFARbWEFt/sW7udLCQRAtIQAJ4zcyVJfzWVNVCzVmO30THasUvnvwCgoQI2 RLQlTkp1aJjJqWuSO3PYTyQ= =kWxg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
