Out of the box, nginx lacks support for many authentications except for that against a htpasswd file.

The 3rd party module called ngx_http_auth_pam_module (2-clause BSD license) adds support for authentication against PAM (which can be set up to authenticate against LDAP, in particular).

I propose an ebuild which includes this module.
