Anything that is okay with using HTTP authentication could do it as long
as you had mod_auth_pam loaded. I would say that would be fine for an
internal system, but wouldn't really recommend it for a publicly
accessible server due to security implications. You would end up
allowing Apache to read your shadow file, LDAP directory, etc.
