I was imagining using LDAP as the ACL for application data, not as a
data store itself, though I suppose it could be used that way, sorry if
I was unclear.  I really don't want more things from scratch.  I want
glue.  Were webmin packaged (or if someone would suggest similar already
packaged administration tools), this'd be easier.

Thanks, I missed httpauth earlier.  I saw unixauth, saw that it seemed
like it'd do the trick, and then realized that it wasn't packaged in
Debian, or even in ikiwiki.

Seems like httpauth and mod_authnz_ldap [0] could do the trick.  I
should be able to bang out a simple authentication PoC quickly.  I'll
put that on the TODO list, though anyone with the time is welcome to
beat me to it or point to an existing example/tutorial.

Thanks,
Nick
