DESCRIPTION

A quick fix to allow two otherwise incompatible populations in the enterprise (windows users and unix users) authenticated access to restricted applications offered via apache.

Authenticate to an nt domain; failing that, try a nis+ domain.

Note that this scheme is quite permissive. Either a valid nt username/password, or a valid nis+ username/password will allow access. This causes double exposure to poorly selected passwords.

The nt part requires the Authen::Smb module. When Authen::Smb supports group authentication, I will add it to this module.

The nis+ part requires the Net::NISPlus module.
