Hey Does nginx support ldap authentication? I have just migrated from apache and would like to move all of my authentications which are based on openldap and mod_auth_ldap to nginx. Let me know if that is possible.

From this page listing all the modules nginx has, i don't see any mention about LDAP. Thanks,

nginx doesn't do LDAP: you have to use xsendfile with a 3rd party script you create to handle LDAP authentication

http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxXSendfile

How does that answer my question - I specifically want to talk to ldap directly. – Adam Benayoun Aug 8 '10 at 13:46

There is an unofficial LDAP module for nginx : nginx-auth-ldap.
