Hi, I have set up an Apache 1.3.26 with mod_auth_pam and edited /etc/pam.conf : # # Apache httpd # httpd auth required /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so httpd account required /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so When I try to access a proteced page I get a password dialog box allright, but I can't get authenticated. After runnning some investigations (snoop and truss) I found that pam_unix.so is called which subsequentially results in some NIS-traffic: 1 0.00000 www -> nisslave NIS C MATCH myuser in passwd.byname 2 0.00111 nisslave -> www NIS R MATCH OK 3 0.00229 www -> nisslave NIS C MATCH myuser in passwd.adjunct.byname 4 0.01974 nisslave -> www NIS R MATCH No such map In the truss output I can find that probably the user running the webserver is the effective user (found the user id in the output) when issueing the passwd.adjunct.byname request, which probably is denied. I can also mention that a local user is authenticated when chmoding the shadow file to be readable for the webservers group (but I am not really interested in that ) . nssswitch.conf contains "nis files" at the moment . Could anybody please explain to me if it is possible to get this setup working and how ? As far as I can see it should be, if it is not the case that pam_unix.so is called by the user running the web server when asking for password info. Thanks for any reply... /Anders ------------------------------------------------- TietoEnator http://www.tietoenator.com/ _______________________________________________ Pam-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
