LibreSSL 4.1.0 released https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20250430112153 #openbsd #libressl #ssl #tls #security #openssl #networking #privacy #crypto #cryptography

Released: #swad v0.1

Looking for a simple way to add #authentication to your #nginx reverse proxy? Then swad *could* be for you!

swad is the "Simple Web Authentication Daemon", written in pure #C (+ #POSIX) with almost no external dependencies. #TLS support requires #OpenSSL (or #LibreSSL). It's designed to work with nginx' "auth_request" module and offers authentication using a #cookie and a login form.

Well, this is a first release and you can tell by the version number it isn't "complete" yet. Most notably, only one single credentials checker is implemented: #PAM. But as pam already allows pretty flexible configuration, I already consider this pretty useful
