# PAM validator

The PAM validator uses the Pluggable Authentication Modules to validate the user and passwords pairs in order to access protected resources.

This validator only works with Basic authentication.

Notice

This validator only works if the server runs as root

## Compatibility

This validator only works with Basic authentication, it's not suitable for HTTP Digest.

## Examples

    Directory /protected {
       Auth Basic {
          Method pam
       }
    }

Requires a valid user and password system pair to access the protected directory.

    Extension iso {
       Auth Basic {
          Method pam
          User alo, mark
       }
    }

System users alo and mark are the only ones allowed to download ISO images.
