From what I can tell, authnz_ldap has replaced auth_ldap in apache2.2. One main reason I can think of is that there is a move to "split" the auth_* modules into autheNtication (authn_*) and authoriZation (authz_*) versions.

However, I guess whomever was working on the LDAP code decieded to join the two back together again, hence the "nz" in authnz_ldap.

I'm not sure how worthwhile the whole effort is/was, as while authentication and authorisation are different beasts, they are usually pretty closely coupled...

Cheers.
