PAM auth and account with openssh

Subject: PAM auth and account with openssh
Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 08:27:17 -0500
Hi,

I have a Sun LDAP server version 5.2 that I am using as a solaris naming service. Everything is working as expected except for a problem with sshd and pam. With the following entries in pam.conf everything works well except that password expiration from the ldap server is ignored.

sshd   auth requisite          pam_authtok_get.so.1
sshd   auth required           pam_dhkeys.so.1
sshd   auth sufficient         pam_unix_auth.so.1
sshd   auth required           pam_ldap.so.1 try_first_pass
sshd   account required        pam_unix_account.so.1

If I use the following entries in pam.conf everything works including password expiration unless I use a public key for authentication. If I have a public key in place I am unable to log in. I get prompted for a password and that fails. If I remove the public key I am prompted for a password and get successfully authenticated.

sshd   auth requisite          pam_authtok_get.so.1
sshd   auth required           pam_dhkeys.so.1
sshd   auth sufficient         pam_unix_auth.so.1
sshd   auth required           pam_ldap.so.1 try_first_pass
sshd   account sufficient              pam_ldap.so.1
sshd  account binding                pam_unix_account.so.1 server_policy


Here is the ssh client debug output from trying to login with the public key and the above pam.conf entries.

The server accepts the key but continues to try to authenticate me. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
