2FA/OATH for Nginx

[Schuby]

I've been doing a lot of research and I wanted to know if anyone has successfully implemented any type of OATH, two-factor authentication, or anything similar.

Using HTTP authentication solely just seems so lackluster and far less secure than other options. Unfortunately it seems that not many have pursued 2FA/OATH in an effort to secure nginx, and if they did, it required a hell of a lot of work.

Does anyone have any recommendations or experience running a setup like this?

I'm not sure what this has to do with FreeNAS, or with any plugin. If you've installed nginx in a jail, and want to use two-factor authentication for whatever you're serving with nginx, it seems that there would be better places to ask about that (nginx support boards/lists, perhaps?). But often the authentication is done in whatever application you're using, rather than with the server itself.

Fair enough. Just wanted to see if anyone here had implemented such a system using Nginx in a jail. I'll peruse other sources.
