hi guys, I'm trying to use mysql with samba to authenticate users. The fist thing I've tryed was passdb wich one is very useful except that I can't personalize the querys but that's not a problem since I could make my needed changes at pdb_sql.c Well after trying for a while I saw that I can't use crypt password with this auth method but just nt password, lan manager password and plain password (which one I'm using now). The problem is that this database is used for such other things like courier-imap and this one could support crypt passwords. Looking around I saw that I could use crypt password with pam + mysql and I decide to give it a try but I can't make pam to work. Actually I think the problem is with passdb parameter wich one I don't know what to put since I didn't seen any parameter that could match pam. I did try to comment passdb parameter but if I try it nor password verification is done.
That's my pam.d/samba file where we can see I'm using plain password (crypt=0): auth required pam_mysql.so user=USERNAME passwd=PASSWORD host=LOCALHOST db=DATABASE usercolumn=user_id crypt=0 passwdcolumn=password table=user account required pam_mysql.so user=USERNAME passwd=PASSWORD host=LOCALHOST db=DATABASE usercolumn=user_id crypt=0 passwdcolumn=password table=user password required pam_mysql.so user=USERNAME passwd=PASSWORD host=LOCALHOST db=DATABASE usercolumn=user_id crypt=0 passwdcolumn=password table=user session required pam_mysql.so user=USERNAME passwd=PASSWORD host=LOCALHOST db=DATABASE usercolumn=user_id crypt=0 passwdcolumn=password table=user what I want is to use crypt password with mysql. I don't know if is there a way to do it without make more changes to passdb source code or if I could pass some parameter identifying that I'm using pam instead of other auth methods, so any suggestion would be appreciated.
