+[[!template id=plugin name=unixauth core=0 author="[[schmonz]]"]]
+[[!tag type/auth]]
+
+This plugin authenticates users against the Unix user database. It presents a similar UI to [[plugins/passwordauth]], but simpler, as there's no need to be able to register or change one's password.
+
+[pwauth](http://www.unixpapa.com/pwauth/) must be installed and working. In particular, it must be configured to recognize the UID of the calling web server, or authentication will always fail. Set `pwauth_path` to the full path of your pwauth binary.
+
+As [with passwordauth](/security/#index14h2), be wary of sending usernames and passwords in cleartext. Unlike with passwordauth, sniffing these credentials can get an attacker much further than mere wiki access. SSL with this plugin is a __must__.
