Hmm ... you are correct. The documentation seems to be wrong. This is
what I have in an .htaccess and that seems to work on my test box:

        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Restricted"
        AuthBasicProvider external
        AuthExternal pwauth
        require valid-user

Could you please check if you have this in your
/etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_authnz_external.conf?

LoadModule authnz_external_module
/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_authnz_external.so
AddExternalAuth pwauth /usr/bin/pwauth
SetExternalAuthMethod pwauth pipe
AddExternalGroup unixgroup /usr/bin/unixgroup
SetExternalGroupMethod unixgroup pipe

If so, then this should actually work.

Yeah, he's doing fine again. He's got a nervous stomach at times.
