If applying this to the version of cloud9 installed via npm, you'll need to add
require.paths.unshift(__dirname + "/connect-basic-auth/lib");
to ./support/paths.js

hello,

I have trouble on implementing this. Do you have a simplified explanation on how to implement this?

@okev do you have a pointer for ldap authentication on cloud9 ide ?
