NAME

       Apache::AuthzNetLDAP - Apache-Perl module that enables you to authorize a user for Website based on LDAP attributes.

SYNOPSIS

	 PerlSetVar BindDN "cn=Directory Manager"
	 PerlSetVar BindPWD "password"
	 PerlSetVar BaseDN "ou=people,o=unt.edu"
	 PerlSetVar LDAPServer ldap.unt.edu
	 PerlSetVar LDAPPort 389
	 PerlSetVar UIDAttr uid
	#PerlSetVar UIDAttr mail

	 PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthNetLDAP
	 PerlAuthzHandler Apache::AuthzNetLDAP

	 #require valid-user
	 #require user mewilcox
	 #require user mewilcox@venus.acs.unt.edu
	 #require group "cn=Peoplebrowsers1,ou=UNTGroups,ou=People, o=unt.edu"
	 #require ldap-url ldap://pandora.acs.unt.edu/o=unt.edu??sub?sn=wilcox
	 #require ldap-url ldap://pandora.acs.unt.edu/o=unt.edu??sub?sn=smith
	 #require ldap-url ldap://castor.acs.unt.edu/ou=people,o=unt.edu??sub?untcourse=
       untcoursenumber=1999CCOMM2040001,ou=courses,ou=acad,o=unt.edu

DESCRIPTION

       After you have authenticated a user (perhaps with Apache::AuthNetLDAP ;) you can use this module to determine whether they are authorized
       to access the Web resource under this modules control.

       You can control authorization via one of four methods. The first two are pretty standard, the second two are unique to LDAP.

       "require" options --

       user -> Will authorize access if the authenticated user's username.

       valid-user -> Will authorize any authenticated user.

       group -> Will authorize any authenticated user who is a member of the LDAP group specified by groupdn. This module supports groupOfMember,
       groupOfUniquemember and Netscape's dynamic group object classes.

       ldap-url -> This will authorize any authenticated user who matches the query specified in the given LDAP URL. This is enables users to get
       the flexibility of Netscape's dynamic groups, even if their LDAP server does not support such a capability.

CONFIGURATION NOTES

	It is important to note that this module must be used in conjunction with an authentication module. (...?
       Is this true?  I just thought, that you might want to only authorize a user, instead of authenticate...)
       If you are using an authentication module, then the following lines will not need to be duplicated:

	 PerlSetVar BindDN "cn=Directory Manager"
	 PerlSetVar BindPWD "password"
	 PerlSetVar BaseDN "ou=people,o=unt.edu"
	 PerlSetVar LDAPServer ldap.unt.edu
	 PerlSetVar LDAPPort 389
	 PerlSetVar UIDAttr uid
	#PerlSetVar UIDAttr mail

	 PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthNetLDAP

       The following lines will not need to be duplicated if supported by the authentication module:

	 #require valid-user
	 #require user mewilcox
	 #require user mewilcox@venus.acs.unt.edu
	 #require group "cn=Peoplebrowsers1,ou=UNTGroups,ou=People, o=unt.edu"
	 #require ldap-url ldap://pandora.acs.unt.edu/o=unt.edu??sub?sn=wilcox
	 #require ldap-url ldap://pandora.acs.unt.edu/o=unt.edu??sub?sn=smith
	 #require ldap-url ldap://castor.acs.unt.edu/ou=people,o=unt.edu??sub?untcourse=

       Obviously, the ldap-url attribute is probably only support by this module.

NAME

       Apache::XMLRPC::Lite - mod_perl-based XML-RPC server with minimum configuration

SYNOPSIS

       httpd.conf (Location), directory-based access
	     <Location /mod_xmlrpc>
	       SetHandler perl-script
	       PerlHandler Apache::XMLRPC::Lite
	       PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules, Module::Name, Module::method"
	       PerlSetVar options "compress_threshold => 10000"
	     </Location>

       httpd.conf (Files), file-based access
	     <FilesMatch ".xmlrpc$">
	       SetHandler perl-script
	       PerlHandler Apache::XMLRPC::Lite
	       PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules, Module::Name, Module::method"
	       PerlSetVar options "compress_threshold => 10000"
	     </FilesMatch>

       .htaccess, directory-based access
	     SetHandler perl-script
	     PerlHandler Apache::XMLRPC::Lite
	     PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules, Module::Name, Module::method"
	     PerlSetVar options "compress_threshold => 10000"

DESCRIPTION

       This Apache Perl module provides the ability to add support for XML-RPC protocol with easy configuration (either in .conf or in .htaccess
       file).  This functionality should give you lightweight option for hosting SOAP services and greatly simplify configuration aspects. This
       module inherites functionality from XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP::Apache component of XMLRPC::Lite module.

CONFIGURATION

       The module can be placed in <Location>, <Directory>, <Files>, <FilesMatch> directives in main server configuration areas or directly in
       .htaccess file.

       All parameters should be quoted and can be separated with commas or spaces for lists ("a, b, c") and with 'wide arrows' and commas for hash
       parameters ("key1 => value1, key2 => value2").

       All options that you can find in XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP::Apache component are available for configuration. Here is the description of most
       important ones.

       dispatch_to (LIST)
	   Specifies path to directory that contains Perl modules you'd like to give access to, or just list of modules (for preloaded modules).

	     PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules, Module::Name, Module::method"

       options (HASH)
	   Specifies list of options for your module, for example threshold for compression. Future versions will support more options. See
	   XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP documentation for other options.

	     PerlSetVar options "compress_threshold => 10000"

METHODS
/SUBROUTINES
   server
	my $server = Apache::XMLRPC::Lite->server();

       Returns the server object.

       Useful if you need to manipulate the server object from your code.

   handle
       Request handler. Called by apache.
