<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>This module allows extended authentication providers to be created
within the configuration file and assigned an alias name. The alias
providers can then be referenced through the directives
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></code> or
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html#authdigestprovider">AuthDigestProvider</a></code> in
the same way as a base authentication provider. Besides the ability
to create and alias an extended provider, it also allows the same
extended authentication provider to be reference by multiple
locations.</p>

<p>The example below creates two different ldap authentication
provider aliases based on the ldap provider. This allows
a single authenticated location to be serviced by multiple ldap
hosts:</p>
