That does not mean it is out of date or doesn't work.
It hasn't been maintained since around 2007. I'll try to build it but I
don't have much hope from reading the bug reports for debian and ubuntu.
Even a cursory googling for mod_auth_pam returns an article suggesting
mod_auth_external to replace it in all apache versions.

> Which httpd do you want to authenticate against?
I'm authenticating against a service-subscription website. They
use http
authentication. As long as a user is paid up, they can log in.
If not,
they're redirected to the payment portal.
None of that is pam specific.
Also when I asked which httpd I was asking which daemon you are using
- ie apache, lighttpd, etc.
I think the confusion is that mod_auth_pam allows apache or lighttpd to
authenticate using the pam stack. I need to go the other way, have pam
query a web server with a username and password, and get back a yes or
no, much in the way that cURL can do.
I have 2 pieces of software:
one has a user database which tells me if a user is valid or not; the
second provides a service
The second needs to query the first via http basic authentication to see
if a user is valid. The second uses pam for authentication.
