The mod_ldap and mod_ssl modules are available on your system.
The following packages are installed on your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 9 system: curl, openldap, openssl, apache, and gdbm.
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, the cyrus-sasl-gssapi package is installed.
This package is not installed by default.
When you use the external database option, the following packages are required
as well:
