I'm trying to setup postgresql to authenticate using pam_ldap against a windows 2003 Active Directory server. I have setup accounts on the Active directory and tested the authentication against it using services like local machine login and ssh logins and it authenticates properly. I edited the pg_hba.conf and added an entry for one of the users, like this:
local all derrick3 pam postgres
I have a file in /etc/pam.d/ called postgres and it looks like this:
I have logged into the template1 database and added the user derrick3. I then tried to run this:
psql -U derrick3 -d template1
it prompts for a password and gives this error after I use the password I setup in Active Directory:
psql: FATAL: PAM authentication failed for user "derrick3"
if I look in postgresql.log I find this:
LOG: pam_authenticate failed: Conversation error FATAL: PAM authentication failed for user "derrick3" LOG: could not send data to client: Broken pipe LOG: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module FATAL: PAM authentication failed for user "derrick3"
Can anyone help put me on the right track? Thanks.
