The reamining part is parsing mysql response. Why not using ngx\_http\_auth\_pam\_module ([http://web.iti.upv.es/~sto/nginx/](http://web.iti.upv.es/~sto/nginx/))?

Best question: when will nginx support pluggable modules and not require them at compile time? 🙂 ---

IMHO Igor would not mind if YOU or ANY one else here requesting pluggable modules would send him a patch enabling that in nginx. > * * * > > nginx mailing list > [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) > [mailman.nginx.org archive](http://nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx) – Sicherer, schneller und einfacher.

The reamining part is parsing mysql response. I’m not sure if our ngx\_drizzle[1] module will help you to talk to mysql (clusters) from within nginx in this context. We’re already using ngx\_drizzle + mysql to do simple password login for our application. 100% nginx config scripting. Cheers, -agentzh [1] [GitHub - openresty/drizzle-nginx-module: an nginx upstream module that talks to mysql and drizzle by libdrizzle · GitHub](http://github.com/chaoslawful/drizzle-nginx-module) ---

Yeah, it’s been an important item on our TODO list for long. Static linking does not work very well for RPM/etc packaging in a corporation environment. Cheers, -agentzh
