Hello, I am trying to add credentials to a multiuser mounted CIFS share using the new PAM module. We do not have Kerberos (and I suspect that's the problem). Our users are in an Edirectory LDAP server. I have compiled from source cifs-utils 6.3, keyutils 1.5.8 and Linux kernel 3.13.3 with all CIFS features enabled. This is an x64 Debian Jessie installation. Currently I can mount the volume successfully at system boot using: //cifsserver/share1 /mnt1 cifs sec=ntlmv2,noserverino,multiuser,user=user1,pass=user1pass The 'user1' user has limited read rights. When a user logs in I am hoping 'pam_cifscreds' can add their credentials. These are the relevant PAM files: common-account: account sufficient pam_unix.so account required pam_ldap.so use_first_pass common-auth: auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok_secure auth required pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth required pam_cifscreds.so debug common-password: password sufficient pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5 password required pam_ldap.so use_first_pass common-session: session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke debug session sufficient pam_unix.so session required pam_ldap.so use_first_pass session optional pam_cifscreds.so cifsserver.ourdomain debug Login succeeds for the user but access to their home directory fails: Could not chdir to home directory /mnt1/user1: Permission denied cp: failed to access '/mnt1/user1/Desktop': Permission denied -bash: /mnt1/user1/.bash_profile: Permission denied At this point the logged in user can manually run 'cifscreds add -u user1 cifsserver' and after entering the password access is granted to their home directory. From then on everything appears to work correctly. Syslog contains: Feb 26 15:13:06 pc1 kernel: [ 53.466080] type=1006 audit(1393427586.425:2): pid=3370 uid=0 old auid=4294967295 new auid=2471 old ses=4294967295 new ses=1 res=1 Feb 26 15:13:06 pc1 cifs.upcall: key description: logon;2471;12742;3d010000;cifs:a:192.168.1.15 Feb 26 15:13:06 pc1 cifs.upcall: unable to get necessary params from key description (0x0) Feb 26 15:13:06 pc1 cifs.upcall: Exit status 1 As a failed experiment I tried creating '/etc/request-key.d/logon.conf' containing: create logon * * /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall %k So my question is this: can the pam_cifscreds module be used without Kerberos? If not how could I add the manual 'cifscreds add ...' command into a PAM module to do this without the user having to run that command once logged in?
