=head1 DESCRIPTION

As explained in the Apache::AuthenNTLM module, depending on the user's 
config, IE will supply your Windows logon credentials to the web server
when the server asks for NTLM authentication. This saves the user typing in
their windows login and password. 

Apache::AuthCookieNTLM is an interface to Shannon Peevey's 
Apache::AuthenNTLM module. This modules authenticates a user 
using their Windows login against the Windows PDC, but to also 
stores their login name into a cookie. This means that it can be 
accessed from other pages and stops the system having to 
authenticate for every request.

We did consider using Apache::AuthCookie to store the details in a 
cookie but since using NTLM is basicaly there to remove the need
to login and is almost exclusively for intranets (as it needs access
to the PDC), we decided it was feasible not to use it.

=head1 APACHE CONFIGURATION

Please consult the Apache::AuthenNTLM documentation for more details on 
the NTLM configuration.

'WhatEver' should be replaced with the AuthName you choose
for this location's authentication.

=head2 PerlSetVar WhatEverName

Sets the cookie name. This will default to 
Apache::AuthCookieNTLM_WhatEver.

=head2 PerlSetVar WhatEverExpires 

Sets the cookie expiry time. This defaults to being 
a session only cookie.

=head2 PerlSetVar WhatEverPath

Sets the path that can retrieve the cookie. The default is /.

=head2 PerlSetVar WhatEverDomain

Defaults to current server name, set to what ever domain
you wish to be able to access the cookie.

=head2 PerlSetVar WhatEverSecure

Not set as default, set to 1 if you wish for cookies to
only be returned to a secure (https) server.

=head2 PerlSetVar ntlmdebug

Setting this value means debugging information is shown in the
apache error log, this value is also used for Apache::AuthenNTLM.
Default to 0, set to 1 or 2 for more debugging info.

=head1 OVERRIDEABLE METHODS

=head2 choose_cookie_values()

The method can be overwritten to set the values stored in the cookie

=head2 Example for overriding
