#17281: New port: pam-krb5 ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: mike@flyn.org | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Submissions Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | Port: ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ The pam-krb5 allows applications to authenticate against a Kerberos server. For example, ssh may accept a username and password and then authenticate the user against a Kerberos server instead of /etc/passwd. This is very useful when paired with an LDAP-based NSS system. Note that the Mac OS X graphical login supports Kerberos out of the box. However, other services, such as ssh, authenticate using PAM and require pam-krb5. This port links /opt/local/lib/pam/pam-krb5 to /usr/lib/pam/pam-krb5, because this is when the Mac OS X PAM system expects to find its modules. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17281> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
