DESCRIPTION

   This perl module is designed to work with mod_perl2 and the Net::NIS
   module by Rik Haris ([email protected]).  Version 0.13 of
   Apache::AuthenNIS was renamed and modified to use mod_perl2.  That
   module was a direct adaptation of Michael Parker's
   ([email protected]) Apache::AuthenSmb module.

   The module uses Net::NIS::yp_match to retrieve the "passwd" entry from
   the passwd.byname map, using the supplied username as the search key.
   It then uses crypt() to verify that the supplied password matches the
   retrieved hashed password.

 Parameters

   PerlSetVar AllowAlternateAuth
       This attribute allows you to set an alternative method of
       authentication (Basically, this allows you to mix authentication
       methods, if you don't have  all users in the NIS database). It does
       this by returning a DECLINE and checking  for the next handler,
       which could be another authentication, such as Apache-AuthenNTLM or
       basic authentication.

 Functions

   handler
       This is the mod_perl2 handler function.
