Multiple authorization backend

[Cumali Ceylan]

Hello,

I am using lighttpd in a embedded Linux system for WEB user interface. I want to add support for diverse atuhentication backends for my system. Lets assume we would use plain and ldap backends. Hypothetically, we wish system to use both mechanism at the same time or to try methods in order (first ldap and it fails then plain). We want this behavior because if the ldap server has been gone, the user could still login with local users. I read documentation which explains the lighttpd don't support this and it uses only one method for one directory and as I download the source code of the lighttpd, I encountered the same thing. I am curious if there is any person who achieved this behaviour with any method or knows any open source code for this purpose.

Kind regards
