Hobbit Authentication with LDAP or NIS

I've actually got our Hobbit authing against AD by using LDAP.  Works very
well.

mod_authnz_ldap is the way to go. I can send you a sanitized hobbit.conf if
you like to show how we did it...

I've done it on RHEL3 using Apache::AuthNetLDAP and RHEL5 using
mod_authz_ldap

 And authentication to AD is also Apache's job, I presume?

I am seeing a pattern evolving here :-)

Thanks

 This is Apache's job.  It can be done.

 Hi all

I was asked this morning if we can authenticate Hobbit users against our
company LDAP or NIS.
We have multiple hobbit "administrators" and it would be good to keep
track of who acknowledged or updated issues, but maintaining the passwords
manually will be a pain.

Has anybody done this before?
If so, how?
