Re: [squid-users] PAM authentication problem

Hello Stefano Borali,

        As per your previous mail , you've finished configurarion in
squid.conf . As Henrik said , you have to configure the "squid" PAM service
to connect to your preferred password database source .
See /etc/pam.d/ , i.e..

Pam Conf :

Add this lines in /etc/pam.conf

  squid auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so
  squid account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so

Add this lines in /etc/pam.d/squid

  auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
  auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
  auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
  account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
  account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
  password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
  session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth

Test whether pam_auth works fine in Command line , as follows,

 Go to path/pam_auth and give ./pam_auth

e.g . [root@polytest bin]# ./pam_auth

       my-name my-pasword
       OK

Note: If you are authenticating to /etc/shadow , then pam_auth MUST be
installed SUID root.
