Description: a PAM module to authenticate via http/https
This lets you check passwords against a HTTP server such as Apache.
.
This can be useful because:
- most web servers supports lots of authentication mechanisms
(for example, Apache supports over 26)
- HTTP can be transparently load-balanced
- you can authenticate to a server anywhere in the world
(HTTP is generally accessible from behind firewalls)
