Обсуждение: PAM ldap
Hi, I'm running postgresql 8.0.rc5 on SUSE.
I have the pg_hba.conf file configured with
local all smith ident sameuser
host all smith ident sameuser
The way authentication works with that is that configuration is that if
I'm logged in as smith with my company ldap server I can get in, but if
I'm not directly logged in as smith, I can't get in. Having the word
pam in this file at all causes an error. I'd like to use pam so
postgres could do it's own ldap/pam lookups, but I keep getting an error
that it doesn't know what pam is. I see in the logs that the pam server
starts, but I still get an error. With pam listed I get the red X. An
error has occured. Error connecting to the server: FATAL: missing or
erroneous pg_hba.conf HINT: See server log for details. See server log
details below. What's wrong with syntax of my pg_hba.conf file? I've
tried pam in all caps, adding postgresql after pam and adding
pg_hba.conf after pam in pg_hba.conf, none of which helps. Thanks for
any tips. It's harder to play once these systems hit production.

You didn't show the broken config, but assuming it's something like
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD
hostssl all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 pam
then perhaps you don't have pam support built into postgres?

This is going to do unix auth, obviously, so you'll need to s/unix/ldap/ on that...

Thanks for the reply,
I did compile --with-pam. Although, the $PATH for the postgres user -
who I used to compile with didn't have /lib and /lib64 in it's path. I
don't see anything is configure.in or config.log to hint that pam isn't
configured, but I'll re-configure anyway. Is there a way to check PAM
is configured with postgresql? pam_unix2.so is located in
/lib(64)/security. I was wondering if both /lib and /lib/security
needed to be in the $PATH or if just /lib/security was needed.
Also, forget about PAM for a minute. Why does ident work locally, but
the host entry not work as easily? ident sameuser in host doesn't
work for me. When I think about it though it makes sense. I'm coming
in on pgadmin iii from a windows machine and a user logged into a
windows domain. So, no wonder, it doesn't map right. It doesn't have
any smith user logged in at the time. I've tried other combinations
like a map name, user ident, pg user, but it doesn't work. ie TEST
smith smith. And then TEST smith smith in the pg_ident.conf file. I
really don't think postgresql is talking to our LDAP server. The only
thing it can do is local (using the unix ldap setup).
Thanks for all your insight,

One needs to be running on the machine the client is connecting from.

PATH isn't used for shared libs (/lib will be getting searched, or the
machine probably wouldn't boot). There's a separate search path set for
the dynamic linker to load shared libraries, but it's platform specific.
(On a leenux you need to add the directory
to /etc/ld.so.conf - or you did last time i used it (circa redhat 5.2 ))
Or you could try setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/security (that's a horrible
hack, but it should work).
If I was you I'd just add a --with-pam to your ./configure command line,
and check config.log after that completes.
To check this is your problem, try ldd - it
tells you what shared libs a binary is linked against (and uses the
search path I mentioned earlier).
Mine shows (freebsd 5.3):

Bye then (I know jack about ident)!
