11This directory contains a slapd module proxyOld that provides support
12for the obsolete draft-weltman-ldapb3-proxy-05 revision of the LDAP
13Proxy Authorization control. It is merely intended to provide compatibility
14in environments where other servers only recognize this old control.
15New installations should not use this code.
16
17To use the module, add:
18
19	moduleload <path to>proxyOld.so
20	...
21
22to your slapd configuration file. Since this is an obsolete feature,
23the control is registered with the SLAP_CTRL_HIDE flag so that it will
24not be advertised in the rootDSE's supportedControls attribute.
25
26This code only works as a dynamically loaded module.
