Getting pam_auth_mod to work with apache2.0

[Trond Husø]

Hi group,

I'm a new user to this list and I signed up to get pam_auth_mod to work successfully with apache 2.0 when using .htaccess files and no .htpasswd file.
I'm currently trying to get this to work on a fedora system with apache 2.0.50 installed. If someone can tell me how the httpd pam-file and the .htaccess file should look like, I'd be very gratefull.
At the moment I'm getting errors like: 

in /var/log/httpd/error_log:
[crit] [client 192.168.1.2] configuration error:  couldn't check user.  No user file?: /testdir/
[error] [client 192.168.1.2] PAM: user 'xxxxx' - not authenticated: Authentication failure

in /var/log/messages
httpd(pam_unix)[3626]: authentication failure; logname= uid=48 euid=48 tty= ruser= rhost=  user=xxxxx

(xxxxx = username)

the output of cat /etc/pam.d/httpd is:
#%PAM-1.0
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account    required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth

the .htaccess-file looks like this:
#ALL users on the RAQ550 can access this directory.
#Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
require valid-user
Authname "Login Name for Access"
Authtype Basic
AuthAuthoritative off
AuthPAM_Enabled off

(This one results in the error No user file?: /testdir/)

I'm also trying to get it to work on a fedora fc1 system with apache 2.0.50 installed - and with a BlueQuartz webadmin-system. BlueQuartz is a translation of the Cobalt RAQ550 system for RedHat and Fedora. 
I pretty much get the same errors there.

As far as I understand the BQ-system doesn't use the shadow-password file. I also read somewhere that the RAQ550 was set up so that it wouldn't be possible to use the raq-db with .htaccess because of security reasons. 
During my research I found that Cobalt had a file called mod_auth_pam-external so it could work with external databases. Does anyone on the list know if there is such a module for apache 2.0?

Hope someone can help out.

Yours,
Trond
