AuthPAM.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

Apache::AuthPAM works as follows:

First, it calls C<pam_start> with the selected service.
Second, it calls C<pam_authenticate> with the browser/apache supplied username and password.
Later, it calls C<pam_acct_mgmt>.
And finally it calls C<pam_end>.
If any of the PAM functions fail, Apache::AuthPAM logs an info level message and returns C<AUTH_REQUIRED>.
If all PAM functions are succesfull, Apache::AuthPAM logs an info level message and returns C<OK>.

If you are going to use your system password database, you
B<MUST> also use B<mod_ssl>.

=head1 BUGS

I'am using a global symbol.

Apache::AuthPAM is running as the same user mod_perl is running
(on RedHat Linux it is apache). It is running without privileges.
