HTTP

This chapter contains an example of a basic Wheel Fudo PAM configuration, to monitor HTTP access to a remote server. In this scenario, the user browses resources of the monitored server using a web browser. The user is authenticated by Wheel Fudo PAM against the local user database. The connection will timeout after 15 minutes (900 seconds) and the user will have to login again to continue browsing the server’s contents.
