Null mailer - no notifications for contacts that want to view CGIs only (maybe notif to an ML)

[Jeremy Russell]

Ok, I've has a few people wanting to know how I authenticated to our
Active Directory here.
 
Well, I simply used the mod_ntlm module for apache.
 
You can find it here http://modntlm.sourceforge.net
 
It is very useful.

	Yep. Good answer, and one employed here for PHB viewing of the
CGIs. In 
	this case, I wanted contacts to _not_ be notified, so the answer
of 
	others to use either 

	- contact_period        none 
	- contact_options       n 

	were the best choices for me. 

	You may want to consider contributing 

	. this answer 

	. how you do AD authentication - this ability of Nag to offload
auth to 
	another facility (Domain, Directory, PAM-something) is a big Nag
win in 
	my view (we use LDAP auth here against an iPlanet directory) 

	as a Nag FAQ. 

	Thanks very much for the encouraging and helpful reply. 

	Yours sincerely.
