Description: Nginx [engine x] is an HTTP(S) server, HTTP(S) reverse proxy and
IMAP/POP3 proxy server written by Igor Sysoev.

In the stock Fedora nginx package there is only one third party module
included, nginx-upstream-fair.

However, nginx by itself provides very poor authentication support (only HTTP
Basic Auth is actually supported).

There's a PAM Auth module available for nginx (see full list of 3rd party
modules here http://wiki.nginx.org/Nginx3rdPartyModules#Auth_PAM_Module). With
this module been included we could have a vast number of authentication options
enabled, as almost everything is supported through the PAM.
