Re: LDAP and PASE Perl 5.005_3

["George Morey" <George.Morey@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm starting to think that using LDAP is not really what I'm looking
for.  I merely want to provide some method of authenticating users who
wish to access my web content and functions.  I can program it via PERL
as I'm not sure LDAP is the venue for providing authentication.  What do
you use it for?

The HTTP server documentation covers how to set this up. From what I
recall the time I did it, the Admin GUI made it pretty easy to do. If
you will be protecting more than one path, you'll want to create an
include file with the setup information in it so you can include it in
each Location container you need to protect.

Thanks...I presume that no particular Perl is required.  I haven't
found
any particular tutorial that is definitive, can you point me to one? 
In
addition I've the latest error after putting on yet another package:

Can't locate Convert/ASN1/_decode.pm in @INC

The HTTP server can use LDAP for basic authentication. Does that help
any?

I need to provide authentication for users accessing the web server
I'm
developing.  I've restricted myself to PASE Perl 5.005_3 because it
comes with the database connectors and it is my understanding that
PASE
Perl 5.8.0 does not.  At any rate I'm starting to get the idea that
LDAP
is not supported by 5.005_3 but is supported by 5.8.0.  I've arrived
at
this conclusion because LDAP.pl has a dependency on 'Convert/ASN1.pm'
which appears to be limited to PASE Perl 5.8.0.  If any of you have
any
knowledge in regard to this I would appreicate hearing from you.
