[ale] How to get Apache 2.2 to authenticate via PAM

[John Knight]

Hi Ray,

I'm not sure of a proper replacement if there is one, however the 
mod_auth_pam package is available for RHEL/CentOS/Scientific 6.x in the 
EPEL repository.

If you want to continue to use this package, you can add the EPEL 
repository by adding the following package (it is the same for 32-bit 
and 64-bit):

http://mirror.cogentco.com/pub/linux/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-6.noarch.rpm

Afterwards you can use yum to install mod_auth_pam and then reload apache.

Example (as root):

# rpm -Uvh 
http://mirror.cogentco.com/pub/linux/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-6.noarch.rpm
# yum update; yum -y install mod_auth_pam
# /etc/init.d/httpd reload
