authenticate{
        Auth-Type customer1{
                ldap1
        }
        Auth-Type customer2{
                ldap2
        }
}

authorize{
        preprocess
        suffix
        Autz-Type customer1{
                ldap1
        }
        Autz-Type customer2{
                ldap2
        }
        files
}
