Quick start guide to using the pam module
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
The pam module supports two different flavors:
|
|
a) "eid" - store the certificate for a user in that
|
|
users home directory in a file called ".eid/authorized_certificates"
|
|
b) "ldap" - store the certificate for a user in a central ldap
|
|
repository
|
|
|
|
This guide only deals with flavor a). If you want to add documentation
|
|
on using pam with ldap, please send a patch to the opensc-devel mailing
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
First initialize the token, create a user with a pin, create a key
|
|
and create a certificate, all as documented in the QUICKSTART file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first thing is to copy the opensc pam module to the right location.
|
|
Pam modules are searched for in the directory /lib/security/.
|
|
$ cp /usr/lib/security/pam_opensc.so /lib/security/pam_opensc.so
|
|
|
|
Now change one service to use this pam module by default. Keep at least
|
|
one xterm and/or virtual console open as root, so you can undo any
|
|
configuration change, in case it does not work.
|
|
|
|
Edit for example /etc/pam.d/login and replace
|
|
auth required pam_unix.so nullok
|
|
with
|
|
auth required pam_opensc.so
|
|
|
|
If you want to use opensc first, and fall back on normal password based
|
|
authentication, you could use these two lines:
|
|
auth sufficient pam_opensc.so
|
|
auth required pam_unix.so nullok
|
|
|
|
Note the first line is marked as "sufficient", so successful smart card
|
|
authentication will let a user in. If both lines read "required", a user
|
|
would have to use a smart card with the right key and certificate on it,
|
|
enter the right pin *AND* have the right passwort for the normal login
|
|
procedure.
|
|
|
|
Now every user needs to create a directory ".eid" in his or her home
|
|
directory and put the certificate in a file called "authorized_certificates".
|
|
To do this, enter the command
|
|
$ pkcs15-tool -r 45 -o ~/.eid/authorized_certificates
|
|
|
|
Now try to login using the smart card. Remember to first insert your
|
|
smart card into the reader, then enter your username, and then the
|
|
pin on your key.
