Any idea what would be involved in migrating from uid's of the format 
user_domain_told to [email protected]? Currently I have both in LDAP so 
that users can authenticate either way through 
PAM/Perdition/SMTP/SSH/etc, except for Sieve - which is requiring 
user_domain_tld as per the mailboxes.

Sounds interesting... I haven't seen too many webmasters looking for DAV 
yet though - most people are stuck in the 'old' way of doing things.

I have HTTP authentication against LDAP working fine with Apache 1.3. 
The relevant portion from vhosts.conf.template:

    <Directory /ispman/analog/$servername>
        $ispmanVhostDocumentRootOption
        AuthName "Analog WebStats for $servername"
        AuthType Basic
        AuthLDAPURL ldap://$ldapHost/$ldapBaseDN?uid
        require valid-user ou=users,ispmanDomain=$ispmanDomain,$ldapBaseDN
    </Directory>
