This is a system to protect vulnerable or sensitive web applications. The target use is in reverse proxy configurations, with a Apache mod_perl proxy inside a DMZ and a backend web server in another DMZ or an internal network.
Apache::AppSamurai features:
* Extensible/modular multi-factor authentication
* Form based or Basic auth based authentication on frontend
* Encrypted storage of session data on proxy
* Able to use any Apache::Session Storage type (including MySQL or Postgress
for clustered deployment)
* Completely configurable from httpd.conf
* Supports Apache 1.x/mod_perl 1.x and Apache 2.x/mod_perl 2.x with minimal
configuration file differences.
* Lots of other stuff
