I wish to store CIFS credentials during login on a desktop, but I've
hit a brick wall, and my google foo has failed me.
When I login via the desktop environment no CIFS credentials are
available, but it works fine using SSH.
I have tried with Ubuntu 20.04 and Fedora 34, but same result.
This is how my Fedora installation is configured:
pam_cifscreds.x86_64 6.11-3.fc34
I have added these lines to: /etc/pam.d/{gdm-password,login,sshd}
auth optional pam_cifscreds.so debug
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session optional pam_cifscreds.so host=<myserver> debug
>From the journal log when logging in can see the credentials gets stored:
gdm-password][3362]: pam_cifscreds(gdm-password:session): credential
key for \\<myserver>\<myuser> added
sshd[2835]: pam_cifscreds(sshd:session): credential key for
\\<myserver>\<myuser added
But I can't see the CIFS credentials in my desktop session:
$ keyctl show
Session Keyring
882498672 --alswrv 1000 1000 keyring: _ses
1026128626 --alswrv 1000 65534 \_ keyring: _uid.1000
But when I login using SSH they are there:
$ keyctl show
Session Keyring
145928652 --alswrv 1000 1000 keyring: _ses
1026128626 --alswrv 1000 65534 \_ keyring: _uid.1000
802829928 ----sw-v 0 0 \_ logon: cifs:a:<myserver>
I'm not totally sure, but I think the problem in general is related to
this: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1299
