Introduction
To enable users to authenticate to an NT4 or Active Directory (AD) domain, PAM must be able to locate the pam_winbind.so library provided by Samba. Create a link in the PAM modules directory to enable PAM to use Winbind.
 | Do not copy the library to the directory. Otherwise you must replace it manually after every Samba update. |
Determining the Platform
To determine the operating system's platform:
# uname -m
Locating the pam_winbind.so Library
If you built Samba, the location of the pam_winbind.so library was set using the configure script's --with-pammodulesdir parameter. The default location is /usr/local/samba/lib/security/pam_winbind.so.
To locate the library, run:
# find / -type f -name pam_winbind.so /usr/local/samba/lib/security/pam_winbind.so
Link the library from this directory to your operating system's PAM module directory.
