Pam SVN and Apache help

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

 



Hello,

 

I am having problems with PAM/Apache authentication.

I have no problems logging in to the svn server thought ssh and authentication via the PAM server works. However when I use PAM to authenticate through SVN I am getting DB errors in the logs. Looking at the MySQL query logs I can see that the (Password) query that is being issued to MySQL is incomplete.   As far as I know all Apache and Pam config files are correct. I decided to compare the mysql query logs on the currently working server and the new not working server . This comparison is in the end of the e-mail and this how I came to  the conclusion that the query is incomplete.

 

 

Auth log on SVN server (svntest):

Oct 29 03:46:08 svntest nss-mysql[9707]: _nss_mysql_getspnam_r conf file parsing failed

Oct 29 03:46:08 svntest nss-mysql[9707]: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=33 euid=33 tty= ruser= rhost=192.168.    6.43  user=ppragin

Oct 29 03:46:08 svntest nss-mysql[9707]: pam_mysql - MySQL error(You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that c   

orresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'FROM  WHERE user.user_name = 'ppragin'' at line 1)

 

 

Apache log on SVN server(svntest):

 [Mon Oct 29 03:17:49 2007] [error] [client 192.168.] (9)Bad file descriptor: Could not open password file: (null)

Mysql  query log from Pam server when running svn checkout from server (svntest):

131 Connect     nss@svntest on nss_mysql

131 Query       select user.user_name,user.uid,NULL,user.realname,user.shell,user.homedir,user.gid from user where

user.user_name='ppragin' and user.uid is not null and user.status = 'A' order by user.uid

132 Connect     nss-shadow@svntest.  on nss_mysql

132 Init DB     nss_mysql

132 Query       SELECT  FROM  WHERE user.user_name = 'ppragin'

132 Quit

 

Mysql  query log from Pam server when running svn checkout from server (newsvn):

753 Connect     nss@newsvn.  on nss_mysql

753 Query       select user.user_name,user.uid,NULL,user.realname,user.shell,user.homedir,user.gid from user where user.user_name='ppragin'

and user.uid is not null and user.status = 'A' order by user.uid

753 Query       select user.user_name,user.uid,NULL,user.realname,user.shell,user.homedir,user.gid from user where user.user_name='ppragin'

and user.uid is not null and user.status = 'A' order by user.uid

754 Connect     nss-shadow@newsvn.  on nss_mysql

754 Init DB     nss_mysql

754 Query       SELECT user.Password FROM user WHERE user.user_name='ppragin'

754 Quit

 

 

The difference:

(svntest server)        132 Query       SELECT  FROM  WHERE user.user_name = 'ppragin'

(newsvn server)       754 Query       SELECT user.Password FROM user WHERE user.user_name='ppragin'

 

I can understand why “user.Password” is missing. This is how the password is acquired from table “user” field “Password”.

This is why authentication is failing. One thing I don’t understand is where the information provided for this query comes from.

I don’t see any mention of “user.Password” in any of the config files. Maybe I am missing a step? Any ideas?
