Bug#207498: apache_1.3.27.0-2 cannot authenticate through PAM
Package: apache
Version: 1.3.26-0woody3
Severity: normal
I had a site that used PAM Basic authentication through the
libapache-mod-auth-pam packages. It worked alright until I upgraded to
the new apache version apache_1.3.27.0-2. After that, trying to
authenticate even to basic PAM configurations was impossible.
To test it, we used:
------ /etc/pam.d/httpd ------
auth required pam_permit.so
auth required pam_warn.so
account required pam_unix.so
------------------------------
This should always work, but it didn't. While using only the pam_permit
module works fine. We also tried a php_pam authentication module, to
authenticate through PHP instead of Basic Authentication, with the same
results.
After tearing our hairs out, we downgraded the Apache version to the one
in woody, and everything started working again. Therefore this does not
seem to be a PAM problem, or a libapache-mod-auth-pam problem, since we
only had to downgrade "apache" and "apache-common" packages, AND the php
module does not use libapache-mod-auth-pam.
I hope you can fix this!
Love,
Margarita Manterola.
