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::Qpsmtpd - a mod_perl-2 connection handler for qpsmtpd

SYNOPSIS

	 Listen 0.0.0.0:25 smtp
	 AcceptFilter smtp none
	 ## "smtp" and the AcceptFilter are required for Linux, FreeBSD
	 ## with apache >= 2.1.5, for others it doesn't hurt. See also
	 ## http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#acceptfilter
	 ## and http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#listen

	 LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

	 <Perl>
	 use lib qw( /path/to/qpsmtpd/lib );
	 use Apache::Qpsmtpd;
	 $ENV{QPSMTPD_CONFIG} = "/path/to/qpsmtpd/config";
	 </Perl>

	 <VirtualHost _default_:25>
	 PerlModule Apache::Qpsmtpd
	 PerlProcessConnectionHandler Apache::Qpsmtpd
	 # can specify this in config/plugin_dirs if you wish:
	 PerlSetVar qpsmtpd.plugin_dirs /path/to/qpsmtpd/plugins
	 PerlSetVar qpsmtpd.loglevel 4
	 </VirtualHost>

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements a mod_perl/apache 2.0 connection handler that turns Apache into an SMTP server using Qpsmtpd.

       It also allows you to set single-valued config options (such as loglevel, as seen above) using "PerlSetVar" in httpd.conf.

       This module should be considered beta software as it is not yet widely tested. However it is currently the fastest way to run Qpsmtpd, so
       if performance is important to you then consider this module.

BUGS

       Probably a few. Make sure you test your plugins carefully.

       The Apache scoreboard (/server-status/) mostly works and shows connections, but could do with some enhancements specific to SMTP.
