 Posted: Sun Mar 27, 2005 4:16 pm Post subject: Apache2 and mod_auth_pam does not really work |
 |
|
Is there a tutorial or howto or any special documentation on how to get PAM with an Apache work?
This thingy is really annoying as I successfully integrate the module, configure my .htaccess enable pam-auth and get a PAM: user 'test' - not authenticated: authentication error" whenever I try to authenticate.
It seems, that my request is pam'ized, but it cannot be authenticated for some reason.
I've tried apache1 and apache2 as I thought it a faulty mod_auth_pam2, but this is not the case which means, I don't even get it working with apache1. Is there a trick or something? I don't get it... |

I get similar.. anyone know what we're missing here?
I have apache2, mod_auth_pam, mod_ssl.
commonapache2.conf contains:
| Code: | <Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/myapp">
AuthType Basic
require user my_user_name
order deny,allow
AuthName "MyApp"
</Directory> |
When I hit the server, the basic authentication box comes up, but when entering valid details (contained in /etc/passwd) I get the following in /var/log/apache2/ssl_error_log:
| Code: | | [Fri Apr 08 12:30:19 2005] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] PAM: user 'my_user_name' - not authenticated: Authentication failure |
I'd have thought mod_auth_pam would be quite widely used but there's not much info on it - is there a better way to authenticate against the system passwd list?
Regards,

for info, the apache user didn't have read-access to /etc/shadow. Added a 'shadow-users' group with apache in it to /etc/group and did | Code: | | chgrp shadow-users; chmod g+r /etc/shadow |
to fix.
