Hi, I am trying to authentificate user against the system user database using mod_auth_pam-1.1.1 on apache-1.3.33_1.I get the following error in the apache error.log "(2)No such file or directory: access to /www.xxx.net/ failed for 217.228.101.117, reason: authentication error" /etc/pam.d/httpd #cat /etc/pam.d/httpd auth required pam_unix.so debug account required pam_unix.so debug the relevant Directory directive from httpd.conf <Directory /var/www/webalizer/www.xxx.net> AuthPAM_Enabled on AllowOverride None AuthName "Web Statistics xxx" AuthType "basic" require group test </Directory> imho the error has some connection to pam_unix.so, that is because pam_permit.so works as it should (it permits everything). Strangely no error shows up in my system message log. (where I log *.debug level messages) despite the debug flag in /etc/pam.d/httpd.
I've encountered the problem as well and have lived without it since; if I recalled correctly from a previous reply on this list, pam_unix.so uses getpwnam () to fetch the password information. It will only return the password if the calling process has an UID of 0 (root). Since your apache is running as user www, that should explain why the authentication failed. The only workaround is to have your apache runs as root or use a different authentication back-end. -- Thank you for your time, Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim, http://ihsan.synthexp.net _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
