Note that all that pam-krb5 specifically cares about is KRB5CCNAME, so an alternative approach that may require less refactoring and would work for that PAM module would be to preserve the PAM environment from pam_getenvlist and set those variables in the environment before invoking PAM for unlock. That should not require reusing the same PAM handle.
I don't know if that would be sufficient for other PAM modules, however. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1336663 Title: lightdm uses wrong ccache name on pam_krb5 credentials refresh Status in Light Display Manager: Triaged Status in “libpam-krb5” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: As already noted by Brian Knoll in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1296276/comments/24 lightdm 1.10.1-0ubuntu1 uses an inappropriate credentials cache, /tmp/krb5cc_0, when refreshing Kerberos credentials on screen unlock.
