Hi Nginx community,

I am trying to replace an existing Apache proxy with an equivalent  
on using nginx. The current proxy performs an LDAP basic auth and  
then using that information with a PHP script redirects to the  
correct server that handles that app for the user. Does anyone  
have any ideas about how to implement the same funtionality with  
nginx + modules?

Cheers,  
Ken
