Base pam_krb5 on recent -STABLE and credential cache storage
Hello, Prequalify: I'm quite a novice w/ Kerberos, so my terminology and assumptions may be rough. Also, please CC me since I'm not a list subscriber. I'm running a fairly recent -STABLE [1] and have installed the base Heimdal Kerberos implementation via the MAKE_KERBEROS5 knob in /etc/make.conf. I'm having the problem that I don't see a cached credential file being created in /tmp. I uncommented the pam_krb5 for login in /etc/pam.conf and adjusted it as follows: login auth sufficient pam_krb5.so try_first_pass debug login auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass login account required pam_unix.so login password required pam_permit.so login session required pam_permit.so After adjusting syslog.conf, restarting, and creating a debug log, the following was logged on a successful login: Sep 8 15:48:16 dominique login: pam_krb5: pam_sm_authenticate(login jon): entry: Sep 8 15:48:18 dominique login: pam_krb5: pam_sm_authenticate(login jon): exit: success Unfortunately, no credentials were stored in the usual location (e.g. /tmp/krb5cc_<uid>). I've had the following combinations: login auth sufficient pam_krb5.so try_first_pass debug ccache=SAFE login auth sufficient pam_krb5.so try_first_pass debug ccache=/tmp/krb5cc_%u According to the pam_krb5(8) manual page, "The pam_sm_setcred() function stores the newly acquired credentials in a credentials cache, and sets the environment variable KRB5CCNAME appropriately. The credentials cache should be destroyed by the user at logout with kdestroy(1)." And looking through /usr/src/lib/libpam/modules/pam_krb5/pam_krb5_auth.c did show that something should have been logged by pam_sm_setcred(): * $FreeBSD: src/lib/libpam/modules/pam_krb5/pam_krb5_auth.c,v 1.1.2.2 2001/07/29 18:57:30 markm Exp $ #define DLOG(error_func, error_msg) \ if (debug) \ syslog(LOG_DEBUG, "pam_krb5: pam_sm_setcred(%s %s): %s: %s", \ service, name, error_func, error_msg) Any ideas why I don't see a cached credential file in the usual location? Any other information I can provide to help out?
