+#### HTTP Authentication / LDAP Authorization
+
+Config option: `ldap-authorization`
+
+This module is a combination of ___http-auth___ and ___ldap___
+
+LibreNMS will expect the user to have authenticated via your webservice already (e.g. using Kerberos Authentication in Apache) but will use LDAP to determine and assign the userlevel of a user.
+The userlevel will be calculated by using LDAP group membership information as the ___ldap___ module does.
+
+The configuration is the same as for the ___ldap___ module with one extra option: auth_ldap_cache_ttl.
+This option allows to control how long user information (user_exists, userid, userlevel) are cached within the PHP Session.
+The default value is 300 seconds.
+To disabled this caching (highly discourage) set this option to 0.
+
+```php
+$config['auth_ldap_cache_ttl'] = 300;
+```
+
 #### Active Directory Authentication
 
 Config option: `active_directory`

+ * @license GPL
+ * @package LibreNMS
+ * @subpackage Authentication
+ *
+ * This Authentitation / Authorization module provides the ability to let
+ * the webserver (e.g. Apache) do the user Authentication (using Kerberos
+ * f.e.) and let libreNMS do the Authorization of the already known user.
+ * Authorization and setting of libreNMS user level is done by LDAP group
+ * names specified in the configuration file. The group configuration is
+ * basicly copied from the existing ldap Authentication module.
+ *
+ * Most of the code is copied from the http-auth and ldap Authentication
+ * modules already existing.
+ *
+ * To save lots of redundant queries to the LDAP server and speed up the
+ * libreNMS WebUI, all information is cached within the PHP $_SESSION as
+ * long as specified in $config['auth_ldap_cache_ttl'] (Default: 300s).
