PAM_WINBIND(8)
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.
- 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. Noramlly the home directory is synced with this directory on a share.
