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 -- _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
