Hi there! We are thinking about setting up a unified login system in our company. This involves linux/ irix machines (possibly through nis), windows machines (through samba) and mysql servers. The question is, how to integrate the mysql user/ password system into our machine login system (nis), i.e. how the same username/ password which is used for system login might be used to login to the mysql database and how to convert system group memberships to access rights on certain databases/ tables. The other way round, using pam_myqsl, to use mysql usernames/ passwords for logging in to the system, wouldn't work as we are planning to use OpenAFS in the near future which requires it's on password setup...
I saw some fairly old postings on the list so I would like to know whether there are any current efforts in creating such an interface. I hope that anyone has help on this.
