5 summary: PAM authentication module
11 This module makes Prosody authenticate users against PAM (Linux
12 Pluggable Authentication Modules)
17 The module depends on [lua-pam](https://github.com/devurandom/lua-pam)
18 and [LuaPosix](https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix).
23 Create a `/etc/pam.d/xmpp` with something like this:
25 auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so obscure sha512 nodelay
26 auth requisite pam_deny.so
27 auth required pam_permit.so
29 And switch authentication provider in the Prosody config:
31 authentication = "pam"
36 Compatible with 0.9 and up
