Hi, i dont get postgres working with pam to use an external ldap server to authenticate users. i think the problems is that postgres is using the wrong pam file, namely he uses pam_unix where he should use pam_ldap.so.
postgres version 7.3.2 debian version 3 (kernel 2.4) any help is much appreciated ive included the following files: /etc/hosts /etc/pam.conf /etc/pam_ldap.conf /etc/pam.d/postgresql /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf /etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf /etc/postgresql/postmaster.conf /var/log/messages /var/log/postgres.log (is empty) /var/log/auth.log in short the logs: Sep 11 12:48:49 damian postgres[1892]: [1] LOG: connection received: host=10.18.10.47 port=32882 Sep 11 12:48:53 damian postgres[1893]: [1] LOG: connection received: host=10.18.10.47 port=32883 and Sep 11 12:48:49 damian PAM_unix[1892]: auth could not identify password for [wibrt] Sep 11 12:48:49 damian 18.10.47 authentication[1892]: [2] LOG: CheckPAMAuth: pam_authenticate failed: 'Conversation error' Sep 11 12:48:49 damian 18.10.47 authentication[1892]: [3] FATAL: PAM authentication failed for user "wibrt" Sep 11 12:48:53 damian PAM_unix[1893]: authentication failure; (uid=31) -> wibrt for sameuser service Sep 11 12:48:55 damian 18.10.47 authentication[1893]: [2] LOG: CheckPAMAuth: pam_authenticate failed: 'Authentication failure' Sep 11 12:48:55 damian 18.10.47 authentication[1893]: [3] FATAL: PAM authentication failed for user "wibrt" tnx, Wim
