               mod_auth_pam Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

    1. I  want  to  use  other  authentication  modules,  how  do  I turn
       mod_auth_pam off for one directory?
       Use
AuthPAM_Enabled off
       in your .htaccess
         _____________________________________________________________

    2. I  configured  mod_auth_pam  in  the .htaccess as shown above, but
       Apache doesn't ask for username/password. Why?
       Most   likely,   per-directory   authorization   configuration  is
       disabled. Use
AllowOverride AuthConfig
       in your access.conf
         _____________________________________________________________

    3. I  get  lots  of "undefined references" when compiling Apache with
       your module, why?
       You are using Apache 1.3 and an old version of mod_auth_pam.c. Get
       v0.7 from the [5]downloadables section.
         _____________________________________________________________

    4. I  get "500 server error" instead of a password prompt when trying
       to access a password protected page. Why?
       You  are  probably  using  an  incorrect  .htaccess configuration.
       Please check your servers error_log for details.
         _____________________________________________________________

    5. I  get  "500  server  error"  after  entering  the  password for a
       password protected page
       The  username  you entered is probably not in the system database.
       In  that case, mod_auth_pam falls through to mod_auth and mod_auth
       needs  more  configuration  than  mod_auth_pam.  Solution:  Either
       disable  fall-through  or configure AuthUserFile and AuthGroupFile
       for mod_auth
         _____________________________________________________________

    6. Does mod_auth_pam work with shadow passwords?
       Yes,  but  you  have  to  make some changes to the shadow password
       file. See [6]Using Shadow with PAM for details.
    7. What if my question is not answered here?
       Try asking in the [7]help forum or on the [8]mailing-list!
