Multiple authentication backend... how?

Hi.

I am trying to get mod_auth_kerb and mod_authnz_ldap to work together
; in such a way that it first tries to authenticate the user using
Kerberos, and if mod_auth_kerb can not authenticate the user, then it
tries using mod_authnz_ldap.

That way I could provide password protected site, where if people have
setup kerberos, they get a single-sign-on experience, if not , they
get the usual prompt for a username and password.

mod_auth_kerb has an option so it's not authoritative ( KrbAuthoritative off).

When trying to login using Google Chrome (which doesn't support
Kerberos), I get prompted for a user id and password. Which then fails
with an error 401.

And tracing the mod_auth_kerb module code, as expected, it returns
DECLINED if it can't authenticate the user.

>From then, the theory would be that it is passed on to lower
authentication module.

[Tue Sep 21 16:47:01 2010] [debug] src/mod_auth_kerb.c(1667): [client

That last line shows that the module that get used after is
mod_authn_default (from searching in the source code)

Alias /test /usr/local/www/test
<Directory /usr/local/www/test>
 SSLRequireSSL
        AuthLDAPURL ldaps://blah?uid
        AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off
        AuthLDAPGroupAttribute  memberUid
        AuthLDAPRemoteUserAttribute uid
        AuthLDAPRemoteFirstUserAttribute on
        AuthzLDAPRemoteUserAttribute on
 AllowOverride all
 AuthType Kerberos
 AuthName "Kerberos Login"
 KrbMethodNegotiate On
 KrbMethodK5Passwd On
 KrbAuthRealms M.DOMAIN.COM
 Krb5KeyTab /usr/local/etc/apache22/server4.keytab
 KrbServiceName Any
 KrbLocalUserMapping on
 KrbAuthoritative off

 AuthBasicProvider      ldap
 require ldap-user uid=jeanyves_avenard,cn=users,dc=m,dc=company,dc=com)

        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>

The module loading order in httpd.conf is:

LoadModule authnz_ldap_module libexec/apache22/mod_authnz_ldap.so
LoadModule auth_kerb_module   libexec/apache22/mod_auth_kerb.so

So mod_authnz_ldap has a lower priority than mod_auth_kerb

If I am to use Kerberos it works fine, and if I change AuthType
Kerberos into AuthType Basic ; then login using the ldap user
credentials is fine...

Is there anything I am missing ?
How could I trace the order in which modules are called for authentication?

Thanks
