Great! That´s it!

I´ve tried to use a user called "admin" that exists in the LDAP server.

So, to make the test, I´ve created a crazy username and put it into the flat
file, and it works!

The Apache tries to consult the flat file only if it doesn´t find the user
in the LDAP server.

Now, another problem (sorry for boring you). Instead of use a flat file as a
second option, I want to use a database.

So, I´ve installed the Apache::DBI module and tried to use the
Apache::AuthDBI to authenticate in a MySQL database.

Now the problem is that Apache only try to use the Apache::AuthDBI module.
It doesn´t looking for in the LDAP server any more.

Any idea? Maybe I shoud try to use the mod_authn_dbd instead of
Apache::AuthDBI?

What do you think?

Thank you again.
Rodney.
