Just released: #swad v0.3!
https://github.com/Zirias/swad/releases/tag/v0.3
swad is the "Simple Web Authentication Daemon", your tiny, efficient and (almost) dependency-free solution to add #cookie + login #form #authentication to whatever your #reverse #proxy offers. It's written in pure #C, portable across #POSIX platforms. It's designed with #nginx' 'auth_request' in mind, example configurations are included.
This release brings a file-based credential checker in addition to the already existing one using #PAM. Also lots of improvements, see details in the release notes.
I finally added complete build instructions to the README.md:

And there's more documentation available: manpages as well as a fully commented example configuration file.
