| 22 | This chapter should help you to deploy Winbind-based authentication on any PAM-enabled
|
|---|
| 23 | UNIX/Linux system. Winbind can be used to enable user-level application access authentication
|
|---|
| 24 | from any MS Windows NT domain, MS Windows 200x Active Directory-based
|
|---|
| 25 | domain, or any Samba-based domain environment. It will also help you to configure PAM-based local host access
|
|---|
| 26 | controls that are appropriate to your Samba configuration.

|

| 53 | A number of UNIX systems (e.g., Sun Solaris), as well as the xxxxBSD family and Linux,
|
|---|
| 54 | now utilize the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) facility to provide all authentication,
|
|---|
| 55 | authorization, and resource control services. Prior to the introduction of PAM, a decision
|
|---|
| 56 | to use an alternative to the system password database (<filename>/etc/passwd</filename>)
|
|---|
| 57 | would require the provision of alternatives for all programs that provide security services.
|
|---|
| 58 | Such a choice would involve provision of alternatives to programs such as <command>login</command>,
|
|---|
| 59 | <command>passwd</command>, <command>chown</command>, and so on.

|
|---|
| 67 | PAM provides a mechanism that disconnects these security programs from the underlying
|
|---|
| 68 | authentication/authorization infrastructure. PAM is configured by making appropriate modifications to one file,
|
|---|
| 69 | <filename>/etc/pam.conf</filename> (Solaris), or by editing individual control files that are
|
|---|
| 70 | located in <filename>/etc/pam.d</filename>.

| 77 | authentication backend so long as the appropriate dynamically loadable library modules
|

| 78 | are available for it. The backend may be local to the system or may be centralized on a

| 223 | In this section we discuss the correct syntax of and generic options respected by entries to these files.
|

| 224 | PAM-specific tokens in the configuration file are case insensitive. The module paths, however, are case
|
|---|
| 225 | sensitive, since they indicate a file's name and reflect the case dependence of typical file systems. The

| 226 | case sensitivity of the arguments to any given module is defined for each module in turn.

|
|---|
| 335 | The control-flag is used to indicate how the PAM library will react to the success or failure of the
|
|---|
| 336 | module it is associated with. Since modules can be stacked (modules of the same type execute in series,
|
|---|
| 337 | one after another), the control-flags determine the relative importance of each module. The application
|
|---|
| 338 | is not made aware of the individual success or failure of modules listed in the
|
|---|
| 339 | <filename>/etc/pam.conf</filename> file. Instead, it receives a summary success or fail response from
|
|---|
| 340 | the Linux-PAM library. The order of execution of these modules is that of the entries in the
|
|---|
| 341 | <filename>/etc/pam.conf</filename> file; earlier entries are executed before later ones.
|
|---|
| 342 | As of Linux-PAM v0.60, this control-flag can be defined with one of two syntaxes.

|
|---|
| 350 | The simpler (and historical) syntax for the control-flag is a single keyword defined to indicate the
|
|---|
| 351 | severity of concern associated with the success or failure of a specific module. There are four such
|
|---|
| 352 | keywords: <parameter>required</parameter>, <parameter>requisite</parameter>,
|
|---|
| 353 | <parameter>sufficient</parameter>, and <parameter>optional</parameter>.

|

|
|---|
| 371 | possibility of a user getting the opportunity to enter a password over an unsafe medium. It is
|
|---|
| 372 | conceivable that such behavior might inform an attacker of valid accounts on a system. This

|

| 381 | (In this case, subsequent required modules are not invoked). A failure of this module is not deemed

| 388 | Linux-PAM ignores such a module when determining if the module stack will succeed or fail.
|
|---|
| 389 | However, in the absence of any definite successes or failures of previous or subsequent stacked
|

| 390 | modules, this module will determine the nature of the response to the application. One example of

|

| 496 | the notion of client plug-in agents was introduced. This makes it possible for PAM to support
|
|---|
| 497 | machine-machine authentication using the transport protocol inherent to the client/server application. With the
|
|---|
| 498 | <parameter>[ ... value=action ... ]</parameter> control syntax, it is possible for an application to be configured
|
|---|
| 499 | to support binary prompts with compliant clients, but to gracefully fail over into an alternative authentication
|
|---|
| 500 | mode for legacy applications.
