PAM/Kerberos requiring local accounts

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

 



Folks--
 
I'm trying to use PAM authentication (with Kerberos) and am running into troubles.
 
I'm setting up eGroupWare (PHP, using pam_auth as shown below) to use PAM authentication.  I've set up the necessary httpd/php files in /etc/pam.d with the following:
 
#%PAM-1.0
auth        required    /lib/security/pam_krb5.so
account     required    /lib/security/pam_krb5.so
(output of my /etc/krb5.conf file at the bottom)
 
However, when the user attempts to log in with eGW, they will only authenticate correctly if an account of the same name exists on the local machine that eGW is on.  Even though the password that is required for them to log in is the correct one (i.e. if the password on the local machine and the Kerberos server are different, the Kerberos one is the one that is accepted, which is correct behavior), I can't get them to log in unless there is an account on the local machine.  I've tried this several times now -- a person cannot log in, so I do an adduser using the same username but a different password, and suddenly they can log in just fine (with the password the Kerberos server is expecting).  This seems like a PAM issue, not eGW, so I'm posting it here in the hopes that someone will know why this is the case.  We're going to be having over 1500 users authenticating against this installation of eGW (if all goes well) so obviously creating local accounts for all of them is not a great idea.
 
Thanks, everyone!
