Hi,

I have installed the ApacheAuthPerLDAP for mod_perl, to do
authentication with an LDAP server.  This is working fine, with the
following config:

<Directory />
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
    AllowOverride All

    AuthName "NSTA Web - LDAP Authentication"
    AuthType Basic
    PerlSetVar BaseDN o=work.com
    PerlSetVar LDAPServer ldap.work.com
    PerlSetVar LDAPPort 389
    PerlSetVar UIDAttr uid
    require valid-user

    PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthPerLDAP
</Directory>

However, I want to allow older File-based authentication techniques to
work if the LDAP fails.  My .htaccess file contains:

AuthName "Moshe's Stuff - Unix Auth"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/www/secure/passwd 
AuthGroupFile /usr/local/www/secure/group 
require user moshel

But it seems that any userid entered here is still checked against the
LDAP server, not the files!  How do I specify in the .htaccess file
that I want old-fashioned Apache authentication, and not LDAP via
mod_perl?

Thanks,

Moshe
