Webauth is a cookie-based web authentication system built on top of kerberos. it relies on a central authentication server that handles all user authentication for a domain and creates user authentication credentials for any web server that needs strong authentication.

this package contains the apache module to do user authentication for individual web servers. this module does not do authorization; for an approach to ldap-based authorization that works well with webauth, see libapache2-mod-webauthldap.
