For Yocto 1.1 we are working to ensure that PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) support is consistent and enabled in recipes where it is applicable.  
For Yocto 1.1 we are working to ensure that PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) support is consistent and enabled in recipes where it is applicable.  
== Build image ==
If you want to enable pam support, please add "pam" to DISTRO_FEATURES by add one line to build/conf/local.conf
  DISTRO_FEATURES_append += " pam"
Then add the packages to sato by apply this patch

openssh is conflict with dropbear. If you want to test openssh please uninstall dropbear first and then install openssh.
Then you can build the core-image-sato and test these packages on the sato image.
== Log files ==
We can test the packages both on core-image-sato and core-image-lsb
* on sato, edit the /etc/syslog.conf, set
  DESTINATION="file"   
then you can check the log via /var/log/message
* on lsb, the log information are send to /var/log/auth.log

* mc: mc has remove package mcserv and dropped dependency on PAM already, but didn't remove checking security/pam_misc.h. Drop it. [http://www.midnight-commander.org/changeset/4816107a02ccbf6331534113e6ec0c8df84e24eb Official change log]
* libcap: if pam exists, libcap will create a pam plugin pam_cap.so to add a new front end for the authentication function. Because it is not a application, remove it from list.
* libuser: pam is libuser's build dependency, so remove it too.
* The busybox login has a option to use pam, but we use tinylogin's login right now (tinylogin also provides the su command)
* gettext only has a example "hello-c++-kde" use pam under source code directory, and it doen't be compiled and only copied to destination. So omit gettext.
* sysvinit has a patch contrib/notify-pam-dead.patch for /sbin/init to use pam, but the whole contrib directory didn't take part in compilation. Drop it.

* tst-pam_pwhistory1
=== Packages dropped ===
**need /lib/security/pam_pwhistory.so, install pam-plugin-pwhistory to make it pass
At the beginning we got a list of packages that use pam. After more work, some of them are dropped.
 
* consolekit provides a pam plugin module pam_ck_connector.so and not the package that use pam. Drop it.
* tst-pam_substack2
* gnome-keyring can't call configuration file like "/etc/pam.d/gnome-keyring" because it is called by other program like "gnome-screensave" and "gdm". If we want test "pam_gnome_keyring.so", we need write .bb files to cross-compile gnome-screensave or gdm. So drop it.
**need pam_debug.so, install pam-plugin-debug to make tst-pam_dispatch pass
* util-linux: 3 programs chfn chsh and login in util-linux will use libpam. Right now these programs are provided by package shadow. In util-linux.inc, EXTRA_OECONF has option "--disable-login-utils " which will disable to build them. Drop it.
* mc: mc has remove package mcserv and dropped dependency on PAM already, but didn't remove checking security/pam_misc.h. Drop it. [http://www.midnight-commander.org/changeset/4816107a02ccbf6331534113e6ec0c8df84e24eb Official change log]
* libcap: if pam exists, libcap will create a pam plugin pam_cap.so to add a new front end for the authentication function. Because it is not a application, remove it from list.
* libuser: pam is libuser's build dependency, so remove it too.
* The busybox login has a option to use pam, but we use tinylogin's login right now (tinylogin also provides the su command)
* If you want to use pam_limits in /etc/pam.d/login, you have to add VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_login_manager = "busybox" to your distro config in order to replace tinylogin with busybox, as tinylogin does not provide PAM capabilites; also make sure that "login" and "PAM" are enabled in your busybox config
* gettext only has a example "hello-c++-kde" use pam under source code directory, and it doen't be compiled and only copied to destination. So omit gettext.
* sysvinit has a patch contrib/notify-pam-dead.patch for /sbin/init to use pam, but the whole contrib directory didn't take part in compilation. Drop it.
* xserver: based on following 2 reason drop it.
** the code use pam is old. Add xserver to original list to be pam-enabled by "bzgrep"  tar balls. But in xserver the code to use pam only in os/utils.c function CheckUserAuthorization. No configure mechanism is provided to define macro USE_PAM to make the pam codes enabled. According to the comments, pam authentication only done for setuid servers (uid != euid). Our Xorg is not a setuid server, so we don't need it .
** Xorg in Fedora doesn't support pam. Once I check the xorg-x11-server.spec, and it installs a pam related configure file, so I thought it is pam enabled. But I check the executable file /usr/bin/Xorg , that /usr/bin/Xorg even doesn't link to libpam or libpam_misc. The config file "xserver" is also from Fedora 15,  because it is not supported by Fedora itself we don't have any reason to support the configure file in oe.


* tst-pam_succeed_if1
=== Common configure files ===
**install pam-plugin-succeed-if to make it pass
When import pam related configure file for each package from Fedora, it may contains "include system-auth". System-auth is the Fedora common configure file and it is autogenerated by command authconfig. It contain all 4 types(auth, account, session, password) rules. But in Yocto these common rules are seperated according pam type, and they are common-auth, common-account, common-session and common-password.


* tst-pam_time1
So if configure files from Fedora contains system-auth, we use the seperated common configure files instead.
**install pam-plugin-time to make it pass

Motivation

For Yocto 1.1 we are working to ensure that PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) support is consistent and enabled in recipes where it is applicable.

Build image

If you want to enable pam support, please add "pam" to DISTRO_FEATURES by add one line to build/conf/local.conf

 DISTRO_FEATURES_append += " pam"

Then add the packages to sato by apply this patch

 diff --git a/meta/recipes-sato/tasks/task-core-x11-sato.bb b/meta/recipes-sato/tasks/task-core-x11-sato.bb

openssh is conflict with dropbear. If you want to test openssh please uninstall dropbear first and then install openssh.

Then you can build the core-image-sato and test these packages on the sato image.

Log files

We can test the packages both on core-image-sato and core-image-lsb

  • on sato, edit the /etc/syslog.conf, set
 DESTINATION="file"     

then you can check the log via /var/log/message

  • on lsb, the log information are send to /var/log/auth.log

Common configure files

For convenience, list common configure files here:

common-auth

 auth	[success=1 default=ignore]	pam_unix.so nullok_secure
 auth	requisite			pam_deny.so
 auth	required			pam_permit.so

common-account

 account [success=1 new_authtok_reqd=done default=ignore]        pam_unix.so 
 account requisite                       pam_deny.so
 account required                        pam_permit.so

 session required                        pam_permit.so
 session required                        pam_unix.so

Recipes with PAM support

The following recipes are identified to have PAM support:

at

  • Simple ways to verify 'at':
$ at now
$ echo "$msg_to_print" >> /tmp/at_test
$ < ctrl+D >
$ cat /tmp/at_test    # Verify if the message has been there 
  • /etc/pam.d/atd - not installed by default, copy it from source code and replace '@include' with appropriate 'module-type include':
auth       required    pam_env.so
auth       include     common-auth
account    include     common-account
session    include     common-session-noninteractive
session    required    pam_limits.so
  • test pam plugins
    • pam_env.so

modify /etc/pam.d/atd

auth       required    pam_env.so    debug

modify /etc/security/pam_env.conf, add a test entry such as:

MYNAME          DEFAULT="test-at"

log in /var/log/auth.log:

Jul 11 08:41:22 qemux86 atd[678]: pam_env(atd:setcred): pam_putenv("MYNAME=test-at")
    • pam_limits.so

add line to /etc/security/limits.conf

root    -       nofile  3

'at' job failed, log in /var/log/auth.log:

Jul 11 08:49:42 qemux86 atd[699]: pam_env(atd:setcred): Unable to open config file: /etc/security/pam_env.conf: Too many open files

modify the line:

root    -       nofile  4

'at' job successed, log in /var/log/auth.log:

Jul 11 08:59:59 qemux86 atd[738]: pam_unix(atd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)                      
Jul 11 08:59:59 qemux86 atd[738]: pam_unix(atd:session): session closed for user root

cronie

  • /etc/pam.d/crond:
account    required   pam_access.so
account    include    common-password
session    required   pam_loginuid.so
session    include    common-session-noninteractive
auth       include    common-auth
  • test commands:
crontab -e    # establish a crontab jobs and check if it works
crontab -l    # list crontab jobs for current user
  • test pam plugins

Verified, test ways and the logs/results please refer to other packages:

    • pam_env.so
    • pam_access.so
    • pam_unix.so
    • pam_permit.so
    • pam_deny.so

polkit

Polkit includes four binaries. Only pkexec depends on pam. So I use pkexec to make pam test. Pkexec allows an authorized user to execute PROGRAM as another user. If username is not specified, then the program will be executed as the administrative super user, root.

screen

screen use pam to authenticate users during unlock terminal. Its configure file screen comes from Fedora and replace system-auth with common-auth

 #%PAM-1.0
 auth       include      common-auth

First start screen:

 root@qemux86:/etc/pam.d# screen

it will show some information about screen, just press Space or Enter and it will give a screen terminal:

 root@qemux86:/etc/pam.d# 

then press "Ctrl+a x" will lock the screen terminal and show:

 Screen used by root <root>.
 Password:

In another root terminal, clear the root's password:

 password -d root

modify one line in common-auth

 auth	[success=1 default=ignore]	pam_unix.so nullok_secure

with

 auth	[success=1 default=ignore]	pam_unix.so debug

option nullok_secure will allow users who has blank password login, after remove it these users are not allowed to login.

Back to the screen terminal, press <Enter>(because root's password is blank now) will fail:

 Screen used by root <root>.
 Password:
 Screen used by root <root>.
 Password:

then modify the line in common-auth with

 auth	[success=1 default=ignore]	pam_unix.so nullok_secure debug

On the screen terminal press <Enter> again it unlock the terminal.

Identify upstream PAM patches to use

After checking the Fedora develop repository, the following packages may need patches(only libpam need to upgrade, other patches are pam related configure file but they are absent in poky):

  • libpam: need update from current 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 Release Notes
  • sudo: package sudo in Fedora provides /etc/pam.d/sudo and /etc/pam.d/sudo-i
    • /etc/pam.d/sudo (Yocto use common-auth instead of system-auth)
 #%PAM-1.0
 auth       include      system-auth
 account    include      system-auth
 password   include      system-auth
 session    optional     pam_keyinit.so revoke
 session    required     pam_limits.so
  • screen: check Fedora screen.pam
  • util-linux: check Fedora source file util-linux-remote.pamd
  • at: check Fedora util-linux-remote.pamd
  • cups: check Fedora cups-1.1.16-system-auth.patch
  • openssh: check Fedora sshd.pam

PAM Unit Tests

We use unit test cases provided by libpam itself, a subdirectory with name "xtests" under libpam source code. Right now we spit it as a sub-package libpam-xtests. After "bitbake libpam" you can find it under deploy directory. And it requires some packages:

   pam-plugin-debug  
   pam-plugin-access  
   pam-plugin-cracklib 
   pam-plugin-time  
   pam-plugin-pwhistory  
   pam-plugin-succeed-if  

All test cases are:

   tst-pam_dispatch1 tst-pam_dispatch2 tst-pam_dispatch3 \
   tst-pam_dispatch4 tst-pam_dispatch5 \
   tst-pam_cracklib1 tst-pam_cracklib2 \
   tst-pam_unix1 tst-pam_unix2 tst-pam_unix3 tst-pam_unix4 \
   tst-pam_access1 tst-pam_access2 tst-pam_access3 \
   tst-pam_access4 tst-pam_limits1 tst-pam_succeed_if1 \
   tst-pam_group1 tst-pam_authfail tst-pam_authsucceed \
   tst-pam_pwhistory1 tst-pam_time1

On build machine after install package libpam-xtests, go to the xtexts directory and run tests

 export ALL_TESTS="tst-pam_dispatch1 tst-pam_dispatch2 tst-pam_dispatch3 \
   tst-pam_dispatch4 tst-pam_dispatch5 \
   tst-pam_cracklib1 tst-pam_cracklib2 \
   tst-pam_unix1 tst-pam_unix2 tst-pam_unix3 tst-pam_unix4 \
   tst-pam_access1 tst-pam_access2 tst-pam_access3 \
   tst-pam_access4 tst-pam_limits1 tst-pam_succeed_if1 \
   tst-pam_group1 tst-pam_authfail tst-pam_authsucceed \
   tst-pam_pwhistory1 tst-pam_time1"
 cd /usr/share/Linux-PAM/xtests
 ./run-xtests.sh `pwd` $ALL_TESTS

If you want to run sigle test case, just run (take tst-pam_time1 for example)

 ./run-xtests.sh . tst-pam_time1

Two unit tests may NOT passed, they need some prerequisite:

  • tst-pam_cracklib1
  • tst-pam_cracklib2
    • need /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so, need build cracklib first, and then libpam will check it and create pam-plugin-cracklib
    • need /usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict.pwd file, please run command on host machine:
 cp /usr/share/cracklib/cracklib-small /tmp
 gzip /tmp/cracklib-small
 create-cracklib-dict /tmp/cracklib-small.gz

Notes

Packages dropped

At the beginning we got a list of packages that use pam. After more work, some of them are dropped.

  • consolekit provides a pam plugin module pam_ck_connector.so and not the package that use pam. Drop it.
  • gnome-keyring can't call configuration file like "/etc/pam.d/gnome-keyring" because it is called by other program like "gnome-screensave" and "gdm". If we want test "pam_gnome_keyring.so", we need write .bb files to cross-compile gnome-screensave or gdm. So drop it.
  • util-linux: 3 programs chfn chsh and login in util-linux will use libpam. Right now these programs are provided by package shadow. In util-linux.inc, EXTRA_OECONF has option "--disable-login-utils " which will disable to build them. Drop it.
  • mc: mc has remove package mcserv and dropped dependency on PAM already, but didn't remove checking security/pam_misc.h. Drop it. Official change log
  • libcap: if pam exists, libcap will create a pam plugin pam_cap.so to add a new front end for the authentication function. Because it is not a application, remove it from list.
  • libuser: pam is libuser's build dependency, so remove it too.
  • The busybox login has a option to use pam, but we use tinylogin's login right now (tinylogin also provides the su command)
  • If you want to use pam_limits in /etc/pam.d/login, you have to add VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_login_manager = "busybox" to your distro config in order to replace tinylogin with busybox, as tinylogin does not provide PAM capabilites; also make sure that "login" and "PAM" are enabled in your busybox config
  • gettext only has a example "hello-c++-kde" use pam under source code directory, and it doen't be compiled and only copied to destination. So omit gettext.
  • sysvinit has a patch contrib/notify-pam-dead.patch for /sbin/init to use pam, but the whole contrib directory didn't take part in compilation. Drop it.
  • xserver: based on following 2 reason drop it.
    • the code use pam is old. Add xserver to original list to be pam-enabled by "bzgrep" tar balls. But in xserver the code to use pam only in os/utils.c function CheckUserAuthorization. No configure mechanism is provided to define macro USE_PAM to make the pam codes enabled. According to the comments, pam authentication only done for setuid servers (uid != euid). Our Xorg is not a setuid server, so we don't need it .
    • Xorg in Fedora doesn't support pam. Once I check the xorg-x11-server.spec, and it installs a pam related configure file, so I thought it is pam enabled. But I check the executable file /usr/bin/Xorg , that /usr/bin/Xorg even doesn't link to libpam or libpam_misc. The config file "xserver" is also from Fedora 15, because it is not supported by Fedora itself we don't have any reason to support the configure file in oe.

Common configure files

When import pam related configure file for each package from Fedora, it may contains "include system-auth". System-auth is the Fedora common configure file and it is autogenerated by command authconfig. It contain all 4 types(auth, account, session, password) rules. But in Yocto these common rules are seperated according pam type, and they are common-auth, common-account, common-session and common-password.

So if configure files from Fedora contains system-auth, we use the seperated common configure files instead.
