mod_auth_pam patch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello !

I've uploaded at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1478302&group_id=6663&atid=306663 a small patch for the Apache authentication module (mod_auth_pam).

This patch introduces these following new features:

* The name of the service used by the PAM library may be set by the Apache directive AuthPAM_ServiceName. (The default service name is "httpd"). This might be useful if you need different authentications modules for specific virtual hosts, directories, ...

* The module caches both positive (i.e.: successful) and negative authentication results. This improves performances on slow authentication providers (NIS/YP or LDAP), and limit deny-of-service attacks with bad credentials.

NB: The cache routines may be disabled by "undef-ing" the ENABLE_CACHE macro in source file.

Feel free to reach me  for any comment / remarks,

Thanks!

Best regards,

Bruno
