NAME¶
pam_winbind - PAM module for Winbind
DESCRIPTION¶
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
pam_winbind is a PAM module that can authenticate users against
the local domain by talking to the Winbind daemon.
SYNOPSIS¶
Edit the PAM system config /etc/pam.d/service and modify it as the
following example shows:
...
auth required pam_env.so
auth sufficient pam_unix2.so
+++ auth required pam_winbind.so use_first_pass
account requisite pam_unix2.so
+++ account required pam_winbind.so use_first_pass
+++ password sufficient pam_winbind.so
password requisite pam_pwcheck.so cracklib
password required pam_unix2.so use_authtok
session required pam_unix2.so
+++ session required pam_winbind.so
...
Make sure that pam_winbind is one of the first modules in the
session part. It may retrieve kerberos tickets which are needed by other
modules.
OPTIONS¶
pam_winbind supports several options which can either be set in
the PAM configuration files or in the pam_winbind configuration file
situated at /etc/security/pam_winbind.conf. Options from the PAM
configuration file take precedence to those from the configuration file. See
pam_winbind.conf(5) for further details.
debug
Gives debugging output to syslog.
debug_state
Gives detailed PAM state debugging output to
syslog.
require_membership_of=[SID or NAME]
If this option is set, pam_winbind will only succeed if
the user is a member of the given SID or NAME. A SID can be either a
group-SID, an alias-SID or even an user-SID. It is also possible to give a
NAME instead of the SID. That name must have the form:
MYDOMAIN\\mygroup or MYDOMAIN\\myuser. pam_winbind will, in that
case, lookup the SID internally. Note that NAME may not contain any spaces. It
is thus recommended to only use SIDs. You can verify the list of SIDs a user
is a member of with wbinfo --user-sids=SID.
use_first_pass
By default, pam_winbind tries to get the authentication
token from a previous module. If no token is available it asks the user for
the old password. With this option, pam_winbind aborts with an error if no
authentication token from a previous module is available.
try_first_pass
Same as the use_first_pass option (previous item), except
that if the primary password is not valid, PAM will prompt for a
password.
use_authtok
Set the new password to the one provided by the
previously stacked password module. If this option is not set pam_winbind will
ask the user for the new password.
krb5_auth
pam_winbind can authenticate using Kerberos when winbindd
is talking to an Active Directory domain controller. Kerberos authentication
must be enabled with this parameter. When Kerberos authentication can not
succeed (e.g. due to clock skew), winbindd will fallback to samlogon
authentication over MSRPC. When this parameter is used in conjunction with
winbind refresh tickets, winbind will keep your Ticket Granting Ticket
(TGT) uptodate by refreshing it whenever necessary.
krb5_ccache_type=[type]
When pam_winbind is configured to try kerberos
authentication by enabling the krb5_auth option, it can store the
retrieved Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) in a credential cache. The type of
credential cache can be set with this option. Currently the only supported
value is: FILE. In that case a credential cache in the form of
/tmp/krb5cc_UID will be created, where UID is replaced with the numeric user
id. Leave empty to just do kerberos authentication without having a ticket
cache after the logon has succeeded.
cached_login
Winbind allows to logon using cached credentials when
winbind offline logon is enabled. To use this feature from the PAM
module this option must be set.
silent
Do not emit any messages.
mkhomedir
Create homedirectory for a user on-the-fly, option is
valid in PAM session block.
warn_pwd_expire
Defines number of days before pam_winbind starts to warn
about passwords that are going to expire. Defaults to 14 days.
PAM DATA EXPORTS¶
This section describes the data exported in the PAM stack which
could be used in other PAM modules.
PAM_WINBIND_HOMEDIR
This is the Windows Home Directory set in the profile tab
in the user settings on the Active Directory Server. This could be a local
path or a directory on a share mapped to a drive.
PAM_WINBIND_LOGONSCRIPT
The path to the logon script which should be executed if
a user logs in. This is normally a relative path to the script stored on the
server.
PAM_WINBIND_LOGONSERVER
This exports the Active Directory server we are
authenticating against. This can be used as a variable later.
PAM_WINBIND_PROFILEPATH
This is the profile path set in the profile tab in the
user settings. Normally the home directory is synced with this directory on a
share.
