Bug#418087: O: pam-http -- a PAM module to authenticate via http/https
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of pam-http, Anand Kumria <wildfire@progsoc.org>,
is apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package now.
Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you are *sure* you will have enough time and attention to
work on it.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

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)
