+### PAM Authentication
+
+PAM authentication is based on the use of libpam4j and JNA. To use this service, your Gitblit server must be installed on a Linux/Unix/MacOSX machine and the user that Gitblit runs-as must have root permissions.

### Redmine Authentication
You may authenticate your users against a Redmine installation as long as your Redmine install has properly enabled [API authentication](http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Rest_Api#Authentication). This user service only supports user authentication; it does not support team creation based on Redmine groups. Redmine administrators will also be Gitblit administrators.
