I'm trying to get authentication to RACF working (for apache).  I don't
need login capability, I just need to verify the user/pass sent by
clients, and I'm trying to do that with mod_auth_pam.

I've gotten mod_auth_pam to work with winbind (windows nt domain) just
fine, but not RACF yet.
In the winbind case I had both auth and account lines in
/etc/pam.d/httpd.

Trying with LDAP, my /etc/pam.d/httpd is currently only
auth        required   pam_ldap.so
but I suspect I'll also need an account line.  But

My /etc/openldap/ldap.conf

HOST tcse.tcs.timeinc.com
BASE profiletype=USER,sysplex=TIMEPLEX
pam_login_attribute racfid
SASL_SECPROPS = none

The error I get is [error] access to /(path) for (ip), reason: User not
known to the underlying authentication module


My user is AI00032, and ldapsearch works:
ldapsearch -x -D "racfid=ai00032,profiletype=user,sysplex=TIMEPLEX" -W
-b "racfid=ai00032,profiletype=user,sysplex=TIMEPLEX" "objectclass=*"
Enter LDAP Password:

Is pam the wrong tool to do what I'm trying to do (authenticate against
RACF without actually having accounts set up)?
Thanks for any tips,
