<div dir="ltr">Maxim<br>Thanks for your answer.<br><br>What I am trying to do is basically this:<br><br>When a user navigate to a certain domain, a http authentication box will open and he will need to enter his username and password.<br>
Then nginx will send the following information in a header to a php script:<br>- $username entered in auth<br>- $password entered in auth<br>- group provided in nginx location block<br><br>The php script will in turn do the authentication against ldap and will return either 201 (success!) or 401 (try again and auth will re-open).<br>
What I don't really get yet, and pardon me but I'm still new to nginx (and i've tried reading the wiki and your documentation for the module) is how to make the user go through authentication box and use the information provided in it to pass it to my php script.<br>
<br>Basically if you could point me to a wiki or a code, that would be awesome.<br>I also think it could be nice to open a wiki page explaining how your module can be used this way since whoever who will migrate his apache+mod_auth_dbm or apache+mod_auth_ldap configuration will mostly need that information.<br>
<br>This question is of course addressed to anyone on this mailing list, if anyone can help, I'd be grateful.<br>Thanks a lot!<br><br clear="all">---<br>Adam Benayoun | CEO / <a href="http://www.lionite.com">http://www.lionite.com</a><br>

</div>Yes, it's blocking (as well as auth pam and auth ldap modules<br>
flying around).<br>

</div>You may want to try this one:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://mdounin.ru/hg/ngx_http_auth_request_module/" target="_blank">http://mdounin.ru/hg/ngx_http_auth_request_module/</a><br>
<br>
It's non-blocking and you are free to code any<br>
authentication/authorization backend.<br>
