Just released: 0.11 -- the session-less swad is done!

Swad is the "Simple Web Authentication Daemon", it adds cookie/form to your reverse , designed to work with ' "auth_request". Several modules for checking credentials are included, one of which requires solving a crypto challenge like does, to allow "bot-safe" guest logins. Swad is written in pure , compiles to a small (200-300kiB) binary, has minimal dependencies (zlib, OpenSSL/LibreSSL and optionally libpam) and *should* work on many -alike systems ( tested a lot, and also tested)

This release is the first one not to require a server-side session (which consumes a significant amount of RAM on really busy sites), instead signed Json Web Tokens are now implemented. For now, they are signed using HMAC-SHA256 with a random key generated at startup. A future direction could be support for asymmetric keys (RSA, ED25519), which could open up new possibilities like having your reverse proxy pass the signed token to a backend application, which could then verify it, but still not forge it.

Two different approaches to debugging a software problem:

The Sudoku approach: stare at the limited set of clues you have, and think harder and harder about them until you find a way to deduce something useful.

The Minesweeper approach: don't even try to figure out the solution from only the clues you have right now. Instead, focus on finding a way to acquire another clue, and then using that to get another, and so on. Eventually you've collected so many clues that the answer is obvious.

Sometimes the Sudoku approach is necessary, because you've got all the clues you're ever going to get. But I think my new motto is "Never Sudoku a problem when you can Minesweeper it."
