It simply piggy-backs on the authentication framework provided by Apache HTTP Server. So if you want to enable LDAP authentication for ViewVC, you need to do so in the Apache configuration that governs your ViewVC <Location>. Once a user has authenticated against Apache, ViewVC will receive the authenticated username from Apache via the CGI environment. It will then use that username in its authorization/access checks. -- C.
