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
Verifying If PAM Support Is Enabled
To verify if Samba was build with PAM support, enter:
# smbd -b | grep "WITH_PAM" WITH_PAM
If the WITH_PAM
option is not shown in the command's output, Samba was built without PAM support, because:
- The
configure
script failed to locate the PAM headers. - The
--without-pam
option was passed to theconfigure
script.
To enable PAM support:
- Install the PAM headers. For example, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the headers are provided in the
pam-devel
package. - Rebuild Samba without passing the
--without-pam
option to theconfigure
script. For details about building Samba, see Build Samba from Source.
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.
