+
+    <p>Extended authentication providers can be created 
+    within the configuration file and assigned an alias name.  The alias 
+    providers can then be referenced through the directives 
+    <directive module="mod_auth_basic">AuthBasicProvider</directive> or 
+    <directive module="mod_auth_digest">AuthDigestProvider</directive> in
+    the same way as a base authentication provider.  Besides the ability
+    to create and alias an extended provider, it also allows the same 
+    extended authentication provider to be reference by multiple 
+    locations.</p>

+    <section id="example"><title>Example</title>
+        <p>The example below creates two different ldap authentication 
+        provider aliases based on the ldap provider.  This allows
+        a single authenticated location can be serviced by multiple
