Unfortunately, there is no such thing as an LDAP credential module on  
CPAN at the moment.

However, as noted elsewhere in this thread, coming up with one  
wouldn't be that hard.

Splitting the current LDAP code so that it could be either a store  
and/or credential also wouldn't be hard, and I volunteer to help with  
the effort.

I'm personally fine with the LDAP store, but I've thrown a couple of  
patches in that direction to add stuff I need, so doing a bit more  
hacking on it wouldn't push the boat out. I haven't had any response  
to these yet however, so if anyone reading could poke the Store::LDAP  
maintainer and get them to join the thread (and respond to my  
patches!), that'd be awesome...

Cheers
