Package: nginx-light Version: 1.1.14-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Currently upstream nginx only supports authentication based on a htpasswd file. Authentication based on, e.g., an LDAP or PostgreSQL database is not possible without resorting to custom FastCGI backend software, which in some cases is excessively complex, e.g. when serving password-protected static content. I have been using a version of the nginx Debian package patched with the ngx_http_auth_pam_module, together with libpam-ldap, for years now, and found it to be a simple and stable solution for LDAP authentication. http://web.iti.upv.es/~sto/nginx/ It would be nice to have Auth PAM included in the nginx-* Debian packages. If so, I could help with writing a README example for LDAP authentication. Thanks, Peter -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages nginx-light depends on: ii libc6 2.13-26 ii libpcre3 8.12-4 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.0g-1 ii nginx-common 1.1.14-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 nginx-light recommends no packages. nginx-light suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
