Ah, I'd be worried whether adding the additional layer (PAM) isn't going to slow you down.

Its only an intranet web server, not a public one, so the traffic isn't huge. I expect that the true bottleneck will lie in communicating with the LDAP server over the WAN rather than the local authentication method.
I wouldn't expect that to be a problem, unless you have a really bad connection out to the WAN or braindead firewalls that cut open connections arbitrarily. However, if the LDAP client side is stupid and wants to do the whole connecting/binding/asking/unbinding dance for each and every request it might be a bit slow. jens -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFEZamdRAx5nvEhZLIRAmqlAJoDunbAvwDCsch5bV3cvxGi2jjsAgCgjahG ZPuoKIUKIJiPc8s1KJo/K3I= =raBs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
