 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.
 
 To authenticate, either [checkpassword](http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html) or [pwauth](http://www.unixpapa.com/pwauth/) must be installed and configured. `checkpassword` is strongly preferred. If your web server runs as an unprivileged user -- as it darn well should! -- then `checkpassword` needs to be setuid root. (Or your ikiwiki CGI wrapper, I guess, but don't do that.) Other checkpassword implementations are available, notably [checkpassword-pam](http://checkpasswd-pam.sourceforge.net/).

 __Security__: [As with passwordauth](/security/#index14h2), be wary of sending usernames and passwords in cleartext. Unlike passwordauth, sniffing `unixauth` credentials can get an attacker much further than mere wiki access. Therefore, this plugin defaults to not even _displaying_ the login form fields unless we're running under SSL. Nobody should be able to do anything remotely dumb until the admin has done at least a little thinking. After that, dumb things are always possible. ;-)
 
-`unixauth` tests for the presence of the `HTTPS` environment variable. `Wrapper.pm` needs to be tweaked to pass it through; without that, the plugin fails closed.
