Chapter 5. PAM Authentication

RHN Satellite supports network-based authentication systems using Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM). PAM is a suite of libraries that helps system administrators integrate the RHN Satellite with a centralized authentication mechanism, which eliminates the need to remember multiple passwords.
RHN Satellite is able to use PAM with LDAP, Kerberos, Directory Server, or another network-based authentication system. This chapter outlines setting up PAM to work with your organization's authentication infrastructure.

Procedure 5.1. Setting up PAM authentication

  1. Ensure you have the latest version of the selinux-policy-targeted package: 
    # yum update selinux-policy-targeted
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Set the allow_httpd_mod_auth_pam SELinux boolean to on: 
    # setsebool -P allow_httpd_mod_auth_pam 1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Open the /etc/rhn/rhn.conf file in your preferred text editor, and add the following line. This will create a PAM service file at /etc/pam.d/rhn-satellite: 
    pam_auth_service = rhn-satellite
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. To set up authentication, open the /etc/pam.d/rhn-satellite service file in your preferred text editor, and add the appropriate rules. For more detail about configuring PAM, refer to the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Deployment Guide.

Note

Check that the PAM authentication works correctly before using it with RHN Satellite.

Example 5.1. Using PAM with Kerberos on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 i386 system

This example enables PAM with Kerberos authentication on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 i386 system.
Open the /etc/pam.d/rhn-satellite service file in your preferred text editor, and add the following rules: 
#%PAM-1.0
auth        required      pam_env.so
auth        sufficient    pam_krb5.so no_user_check
auth        required      pam_deny.so
account     required      pam_krb5.so no_user_check
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Note that changing the password on the RHN website changes only the local password on the Satellite server, which may not be used at all if PAM is enabled for that user. In the above example, for instance, the Kerberos password will not be changed.

Example 5.2. Using PAM with LDAP

This example enables PAM with LDAP authentication.
Open the /etc/pam.d/rhn-satellite service file in your preferred text editor, and add the following rules: 
#%PAM-1.0
auth	        required      pam_env.so
auth        	sufficient    pam_ldap.so no_user_check
auth       		required      pam_deny.so
account     	required      pam_ldap.so no_user_check
