[users@httpd] Virtual Hosting with DAV and LDAP

[Brian Topping <to...@codehaus.org>]

Hi gang,

I'm trying to set up dynamically configured vhosts with an LDAP auth  
store.  I have mod_ldap_auth and mod_vhost_alias working.  I'm able  
to create virtual hosts by creating a directory, and auth from LDAP.

One of my questions is whether there is a way to require group  
membership for auth within such a virtual directory.  Ideally, the  
same mechanism used for directory interpolation would be used to  
locate an LDAP group and use inclusion in that group as decision  
criteria.  I realize that there are ways of doing this by creating  
extra configuration files and/or .htaccess files, but would like to  
avoid these if possible.

Another related question is how the same thing could be done for  
write permissions in WebDAV.

Thanks kindly for any thoughts on this subject.

Brian
