Good article. Can you give a use case where using ldap+apache is useful? Single signon? I've used ldap and apache as separate products but not together and trying to understand where this might be relevant.

Thanks

can you elaborate? Does this replace, say, apache's basic/digest authentication system?

We use it where I work for access control. We define groups in ActiveDirectory(LDAP) which are then specified for each subversion repository. It works fairly well for this except there is no fine control. You can only specify access or no access, not read only or something like that.

can you elaborate the finer control aspect?
