Authen...le::PAM(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is Authen::Simple::PAM — it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it does Simple PAM authentication. that's the whole vibe. that's it. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's how you actually use it, no cap:

use Authen::Simple::PAM;

my $pam = Authen::Simple::PAM->new(
    service => 'login'
);

if ( $pam->authenticate( $username, $password ) ) {
    # successfull authentication
}

# or as a mod_perl Authen handler

PerlModule Authen::Simple::Apache
PerlModule Authen::Simple::PAM

PerlSetVar AuthenSimplePAM_service "login"

<Location /protected>
  PerlAuthenHandler Authen::Simple::PAM
  AuthType          Basic
  AuthName          "Protected Area"
  Require           valid-user
</Location>

like, look at that mod_perl Authen handler setup. it's giving protected area, do not enter unless you're valid-user. 🔥
