Hi I am trying to allow system users (/etc/shadow) to access certain directories of apache using PAM. mod_auth_pam is properly installed. I changed the group of /etc/shadow to shadow-users and correctly entered "Group shadow-users" in httpd.conf. Apache is starting properly. When I am accessing http://localhost/restricted, browser is prompting to enter login and password, but not accepting any login or passwd for any user. httpd/error.log says [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PAM: user 'saifamsc' - not authenticated: Authentication failure. It happens with every user I changed group of /etc/shadow with the following cmd chgrp shadow-users /etc/shadow The httpd.conf part <Directory /var/www/html/family> AuthPAM_Enabled on AllowOverride None AuthName "Family Secrets" AuthType "basic" require valid-user </Directory> How to get the authentication work properly.
