# mod\_auth\_pam

Unclassified · [Official website](https://pam.sourceforge.net/mod_auth_pam)

mod\_auth\_pam is an Apache HTTP Server module that authenticates users through PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules), letting a web server check logins against system accounts or other PAM back ends. It works on the server through HTTP authentication and does not set cookies itself; it is an older project, largely replaced by newer modules.
