Sriram-
That was my thought too when I looked at that modules wiki. Ldap
support is vital for me, and almost certainly so for many of the folks
that we'd like to get to use Solaris.
FWIW, when I recompiled the Apache included in the current version of
CoolStack to add mod_authnz_ldap support, I had to temporarily remove
all of the ldap libraries bundled in /opt/coolstack/lib during the
complile like so:
cd /opt/coolstack/lib
mkdir ../ldap
move libldap* ../ldap
After I did that and recompiled, I believe it used the Sun provided LDAP
libraries.
When I originally compiled mod_authnz_ldap against the ldap libraries in
/opt/coolstack/lib, I had some very bizarre ldap issues (things like
mod_authnz_ldap would suddenly stop working and report odd time out
errors when authenticating against my ldap server). I don't if this was
a result of combining the Sun and Openldap libs, or otherwise.
Using the Sun stock libraries _only_ fixed everything for me. The only
down side is that I haven't been able to get TLS/SSL support working,
but I honestly haven't tried too hard.

Lot of customers use mod_ldap / mod_authnz_ldap. So dropping this
module might make our offering less attractive to our customers. While
we wait for ARC approval, will it be possible to explore other
alternatives like using the LDAP libraries that come with Solaris ? Is
the incompatibility between bundled LDAP libraries and OpenLDAP cannot
be worked around ?
