Package: libpam-heimdal
Version: 1.0-17
Severity: important

xdm does not work with libpam-heimdal

Upon entering a correct password, the xdm login screen disappears, as though login were proceeding, then xdm stops & the login screen reappears

I avoid this problem with the no_ccache option, though this obviates most of libpam-heimdal's usefulness, since single sign-on authentication no-longer works -


auth    sufficient      pam_krb5.so use_first_pass no_ccache


Chip explains in bug #251088 that the problem is duplicate calls to pam_setcred in xdm. He suggests -


> In xdm, I simply replace the second call to pam_setcred (the one in
> xc/programs/xdm/session.c) with pam_open_session.


He also suggests -


> In libpam-heimdal, I replace the existing open_session/close_session
> no-op functions with functions that setup and destroy the credentials
> cache.


I don't know whether this more recent pam_krb5 module already includes improved open_session/close_session functions - http://pam-krb5.sourceforge.net/

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the PAM interface, but from what I've read, the duplicate calls to pam_setcred constitute an important bug in xdm

If not, then libpam-heimdal's reaction to duplicate pam_setcred calls constitutes an important bug in libpam-heimdal

Many thanks for your sage contributions to Debian!

Jack

Description: 
 libpam-heimdal - PAM module for Heimdal Kerberos 5
Closes: 234882 326263 344927
Changes: 
 libpam-heimdal (1.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release (Closes: #344927)
   * Bug fixes to upstream version (Taken from the libpam-krb5 package)
     - Succeed silently in account management if Kerberos wasn't used.
     - Parse ccache_dir correctly.
     - Bring the man page up to date.
     - Link with -z defs to ensure all symbols were found.
   * Use the krb5-config tool to get the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS.
   * Convert all error_message to krb5_get_err_text to properly compile this
     module and get some nice error messages instead of "krb5 unknown error
     code"
   * Only initialize the credentials cache ones, no matter how many times it's
     called. This works around a bug in xdm. (Closes: #326263)
   * README.Debian lists a recommended configuration for pam_krb5.so
     (Closes: #234882)
   * Same upstream version as the libpam-krb5 package only this can't be build
     from the same source because of conflicting build dependencies.
   * Several patches from Russ Allbery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, see the changelog of
     libpam-krb5 for more information.
