mod_auth_pamacea is an Apache 2 module that performs PAM based authentication using a customizable login form.

Specifically, Basic Auth is not used because there is no feasible logout mechanism from a Basic Auth session, short of closing the browser. Limited authorization support is also provided.

There is no Apache 1 version of this module.

mod_auth_pamacea was written to replace a much older, home grown Apache 1 module that nobody understood anymore. While mod_auth_pamacea is also homegrown, it attempts to use whatever standards it can to increase the likelihood that others will find it useful, or at least minimally to ensure that somebody will be able to understand it in the future.

Requirements:
Apache 2.x
PAM
cookies
