Hi, I am trying to get postgres 7.3.2 to work with pam under Solaris 2.7. The only option I gave to ./configure (apart from --prefix) was --with-pam.
This is the matching line from my pg_hba.conf file: host all all xxx.xx.xx.xx 255.255.255.255 pam other and here are the relevant lines from /etc/pam.conf other auth required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 other account required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 other session required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 other password required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 When I try and connect from a remote client (psql), postgres immediately logs this: LOG: CheckPAMAuth: pam_authenticate failed: 'Conversation failure' FATAL: PAM authentication failed for user "ucactgj" and syslog logs this: green postgres[21528]: pam_authenticate: error Conversation failure The client then asks for my password. When I hit return, postgres logs this: LOG: CheckPAMAuth: pam_authenticate failed: 'Authentication failed' FATAL: PAM authentication failed for user "ucactgj" and syslog logs this: green postgres[21961]: pam_authenticate: error Authentication failed When trying to connect over the unix socket on the localhost, I get similar messages, with the addition of postgres logging this (before the password is entered): LOG: pq_flush: send() failed: Broken pipe The only similar thing I can find in the archives is at this URL: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2002-06/msg00110.php but that message got no reply. Does anyone actually have postgres working with pam under solaris? cheers, Tom. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
