postfix sasl2 pam_mysql on Debian Sarge

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello list,

I am looking for a few pointers to make saslauthd authenticate over a pam mechanism against a mysql database. All packages in this setup are from Debian Sarge, they are

libsasl2 libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql sasl2-bin libpam-mysql postfix postfix-mysql mysql-client mysql-server openssl libmysqlclient15

Though there's a wealth of "tutorials" that copy this setup from one another, documentation on how these mechanisms work seems very scarce, and I'm getting a bit stuck while trying to debug my config. Here are the facts:


Per advice of a zillion tutorials, /etc/default/saslauthd looks like this:

START=yes

PARAMS="-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r"

MECHANISMS="pam


... and in the same line of thought I modified the saslauthd pidfile in /etc/init.d/saslauthd as such

PIDFILE="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/${NAME}/saslauthd.pid"


/etc/pam.d/smtp contains the following lines:

auth required pam_mysql.so user=username passwd=password host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=postfix_users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=clear crypt=1

account sufficient pam_mysql.so user=username passwd=password host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=postfix_users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=clear crypt=1



1. The first thing I notice is that when I start the saslauth daemon (via # /etc/init.d/saslauthd start) the pid file is actually located in

/var/run/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid


These are the running processes:

igloo:/etc/postfix# ps aux|grep sasl
root      4666  0.0  1.1   7196  2212 pts/1    S    16:25   0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -d -a pam
root      4667  0.0  1.1   7196  2212 pts/1    S    16:25   0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -d -a pam
root      4668  0.0  1.1   7196  2212 pts/1    S    16:25   0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -d -a pam

root      4670  0.0  1.1   7196  2212 pts/1    S    16:25   0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -d -a pam


The permissions of the folder in de postfix tree are:

igloo:/etc/postfix# ls -l /var/spool/postfix/var/run/          total 4    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-03-12 01:18 saslauthd

I also pasted the result of saslfinger below, for not burrying my second question.  So my first question is: how come the pid file is not in /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd?



2. Next, the pam mechanism that saslauthd invokes is returning an error. Here's what I get when I strace testsaslauthd:

same story in /var/log/auth.log...


igloo:/etc/postfix# tail /var/log/auth.log

Mar 12 16:43:52 igloo saslauthd[4670]: rel_accept_lock : released accept lock
Mar 12 16:43:52 igloo saslauthd[4666]: get_accept_lock : acquired accept lock
Mar 12 16:43:52 igloo saslauthd[4670]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: Authentication failure
Mar 12 16:43:52 igloo saslauthd[4670]: do_auth         : auth failure: [user=email@address] [service=smtp] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]


A correct mysql query is logged in mysql.log. The same query over courier's imap-ssl / authlib works just fine.

igloo:/etc/postfix# tail /var/log/mysql/mysql.log

070312 16:43:52      21 Connect     vmailuser@localhost on mail
                     21 Init DB     mail
                     21 Query       SELECT clear FROM postfix_users WHERE email = 'email@address'
                     21 Quit



So my second question is: since (I think) postfix is not involved when testsaslauthd in invoked, and a valid mysql query seems to be logged, can I assume that there is also a sasl/pam problem, and how should I debug it?


Here's the output I get from saslfinger, you will notice that postfix is chrooted:
