Hi folks, I'm having problems setting up PAM authentication,
and I'm hoping someone can help me figure it out. I've
searched through all the archives and tried everything I can
find.
------
Here's what I'm using:
Redhat 7.0 (with all available updates)
cyrus-sasl-1.5.24
cyrus-imapd-2.0.12
pam_mysql-0.4.7
------
I compiled pam_mysql-0.4.7 and copied pam_mysql.so
to /lib/security
------
I compiled and installed cyrus-sasl-1.5.24 with this:
./configure --with-pam=/etc/pam.d
make
make install
------
I compiled and installed cyrus-imapd-2.0.12 with this:
./configure --with-auth=unix --disable-sieve
make depend
make all CFLAGS=-O
make install
------
This is my /etc/imapd.conf:
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /home/imap
admins: cyrus root
allowanonymouslogin: no
sasl_pwcheck_method: pam
------
This is my /etc/pam.d/imap:
auth optional /lib/security/pam_mysql.so user=nobody \
password=nopass db=system table=passwd \
usercolumn=id passwdcolumn=password
account required pam_permit.so
------
If I set sasl_pwcheck_method: sasldb, then when I do
imtest -m login -a cyrus localhost, it works just fine.
However, when I set sasl_pwcheck_method: shadow
(I have chmod +r /etc/shadow for testing)
or sasl_pwcheck_method: pam, it does not work at all
and I can't find any error messages telling why the authentication
did not work.
I noticed that when I do an imtest, this shows up:
AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5
should I expect an "AUTH=PAM" to be listed here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
