Hi!

I'm working on custom PAM module which could be used as an authorization 
support for authentication modules (e.g. ngx_http_auth_spnego_module) and I ran 
into few problems. I'm not sure I fully get the interactions between and within
phases in nginx. My background is Apache HTTP Server so that might have twisted 
my expectations. 

I have noticed that satisfy directive behaves slightly different than Apache's 
satisfy - nginx checks every module in access phase and the first successful 
invocation stops any subsequent checks whereas Apache's satisfy checks host 
based access vs. other access modules. It has some implications especially for 
authentication and authorization implications. What would be the best way to 
make sure that authorization phases that need authentication to be run gets 
that authentication executed, even with satisfy any?

The post access phase looks like a good place for authorization but it seems 
custom modules cannot really be added to this phase. So... is it possible to 
add somehow my module handler into post access phase without changing the core 
module? Or is there any way how to keep my module in access phase but skip the 
satisfy check for that module? 

I would be grateful for any help!
