Just released: #swad v0.2
SWAD is the "Simple Web Authentication Daemon", meant to add #cookie #authentication with a simple #login form and configurable credential checker modules to a reverse #proxy supporting to delegate authentication to a backend service, like e.g. #nginx' "auth_request". It's a very small piece of software written in pure #C with as little external dependencies as possible. It requires some #POSIX (or "almost POSIX", like #Linux, #FreeBSD, ...) environment, OpenSSL (or LibreSSL) for TLS and zlib for response compression.
Currently, the only credential checker module available offers #PAM authentication, more modules will come in later releases.
swad 0.2 brings a few bugfixes and improvements, especially helping with security by rate-limiting the creation of new sessions as well as failed login attempts. Read details and grab it here:
