# About this repository
This is a fork of the original nginx LDAP HTTP authentication module with the following improvements:
+ Uses asynchronous LDAP operations through nginx's event-driven framework
+ Creates configurable number of persistent connections to each server per each worker
+ Supports configurable cache per worker process for improved performance of consecutive requests
+ Transfers only the DN when searching, not the whole entry (several KB)
+ Allows only one LDAP (bind) operation per request when the whole user DN can be composed using variables
+ Has cleaner code and debug log messages
+ Contains other minor bug fixes
I made these changes for a project of a company I don't work for anymore and I am no longer able or willing to continue developing or maintaining the code, because I have no use for it. The project goes on (and naturally will be the next big thing!!1), but I don't know how or whether at all will my successor publish further additions or fixes. So anybody interested is welcome to fork the repository and make it into a proper stable and respected nginx module, finally.
A brief TODO list, just off the top of my head:
+ Test, test, test everything and test it thoroughly. An automated test suite might be a good idea.
+ Configurable timeouts of various events, currently hardcoded
+ Some global code review after the quick and dirty development
+ Better documentation
Good luck!
