Here's a crazy simple way to implement Persona authentication for your Apache-deployed apps/sites:

(I know Apache may not be that popular with the HN crowd anymore, but I don't currently have the time to dive into nginx and do the same for it. Nevertheless, if anyone wants to do that, I'd be happy to answer questions and provide pointers into the Apache code.)

Oh wow, that's fantastic! I would love an nginx module that did this, although wishes don't go far.

You may try https://github.com/wrr/wwwhisper, although unlike the apache module, wwwhisper runs as a separate service (Django) that nginx communicates with using auth_request module.

Looks nice, thank you!

I still love it. Thanks for the module.
