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.
