mod_http_oauth2: Tweak method of centering the UI The percentage here was relative to the viewport width, which on some very wide screens may put the UI slightly outside of the view, requiring scrolling to see. By using a unit relative to the height of the viewport, this is avoided and should work better. But no guarantees, it's still possible to resize the browser or adjust font sizes so that the UI goes out of view.

Introduction
============

This module makes Prosody authenticate users against PAM (Linux
Pluggable Authentication Modules)

============

The module depends on [lua-pam](https://github.com/devurandom/lua-pam)
and [LuaPosix](https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix).

Setup
=====

Create a `/etc/pam.d/xmpp` with something like this:

    auth    [success=1 default=ignore]  pam_unix.so obscure sha512 nodelay
    auth    requisite           pam_deny.so
    auth    required            pam_permit.so

And switch authentication provider in the Prosody config:

    authentication = "pam"
