-      <para>Using LDAP for Bugzilla authentication requires the 
-      Mozilla::LDAP (aka PerLDAP) Perl module. The
-      Mozilla::LDAP module in turn requires Netscape's Directory SDK for C.
-      After you have installed the SDK, then install the PerLDAP module.
-      Mozilla::LDAP and the Directory SDK for C are both

-      Set the Param 'useLDAP' to "On" **only** if you will be using an LDAP
-      directory for
-      authentication. Be very careful when setting up this parameter; if you
-      set LDAP authentication, but do not have a valid LDAP directory set up,
-      you will not be able to log back in to Bugzilla once you log out. (If
-      this happens, you can get back in by manually editing the data/params
-      file, and setting useLDAP back to 0.)
-      </para>
-      
-      <para>If using LDAP, you must set the
-      three additional parameters: Set LDAPserver to the name (and optionally
-      port) of your LDAP server. If no port is specified, it defaults to the
-      default port of 389. (e.g "ldap.mycompany.com" or
-      "ldap.mycompany.com:1234") Set LDAPBaseDN to the base DN for searching
-      for users in your LDAP directory. (e.g. "ou=People,o=MyCompany") uids
-      must be unique under the DN specified here. Set LDAPmailattribute to
-      the name of the attribute in your LDAP directory which contains the
-      primary email address. On most directory servers available, this is

-      Please note that this patch <emphasis>has not</emphasis> yet been
-      accepted by the Bugzilla team, and so you may need to do some
-      manual tweaking.  That said, it looks like Net::LDAP is probably
-      the way to go in the future.
