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! - ---- - # LDAP Authentication module for nginx LDAP module for nginx which supports authentication against multiple LDAP servers.
