+This directory contains a slapd module proxyOld that provides support
+for the obsolete draft-weltman-ldapb3-proxy-05 revision of the LDAP
+Proxy Authorization control. It is merely intended to provide compatibility
+in environments where other servers only recognize this old control.
+New installations should not use this code.
+
+To use the module, add:
+
+ moduleload <path to>proxyOld.so
+ ...
+
+to your slapd configuration file. Since this is an obsolete feature,
+the control is registered with the SLAP_CTRL_HIDE flag so that it will
+not be advertised in the rootDSE's supportedControls attribute.
+
+This code only works as a dynamically loaded module.
