 ===== Notes =====
+===== Apache Authentication =====
+It's possible to use Basic authentication via Active Directory in web applications.
+Make sure Apache has ''mod_perl'' installed and working first:
+<code># apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2 libapache2-mod-perl2-dev
+# a2enmod perl
+# apache2ctl graceful</code>
+Install the required perl dependencies for Apache and LDAP:
+<code># apt-get install libauthen-simple-ldap-perl</code>
+Install the required AD Auth package and any dependencies it has using CPAN:
+<code>$ sudo cpan
+> install Apache2::AuthenMSAD</code>
+Then add a stanza such as this to your Apache config:
+<file>
+   AuthName "Microsoft Active Directory Authentication"
+   AuthType Basic
+   PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthenMSAD
+   PerlSetVar MSADDomain ilri.cgiarad.org
+   PerlSetVar MSADServer 172.26.0.218
+   #require valid-user
+   require user aorth akihara</file>
+That stanza can go in a VirtualHost, a Directory, a Location, etc... restart Apache and you're golden.
