= Yubico PAM module =
The Yubico PAM module provides an easy way to integrate the Yubikey
into your existing user authentication infrastructure. PAM is used by
GNU/Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X for user authentication, and by other
specialized applications such as NCSA !MyProxy.
== Status and Roadmap ==
The module is working for single-user systems.
Several items have been identified that needs to be implemented before
it can reach production quality:
* Multi-user mappings from Yubikey to username.
* Support disconnected AES key usage.
The development community is co-ordinated via Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/yubico-pam/
The license for pam_yubico is the same as for Linux-PAM, namely a
dual-license between 3-clause BSD and the GPL. See the file COPYING
for more information.
== Building from SVN ==
Skip to the next section if you are using an official packaged
version.
You may check out the sources using SVN with the following command:
{{{
svn checkout http://yubico-pam.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ yubico-pam
}}}
This will create a directory 'yubico-pam'. Enter the directory:
{{{
cd yubico-pam
}}}
Autoconf, automake and libtool must be installed. For the
documentation, asciidoc and docbook are also required.
Generate the build system using:
{{{
autoreconf --install
}}}
== Building ==
You will need to have libyubikey-client (libykclient.h,
libyubikey-client.so) and libpam-dev (security/pam_appl.h, libpam.so)
installed. Get the libyubikey-client library from:
http://code.google.com/p/yubico-c-client/
The build system uses Autoconf, to set up the build system run:
{{{
./configure
}}}
Then build the code, run the self-test and install the binaries:
{{{
make check install
}}}
== Configuration ==
Install it in your PAM setup by adding a line to an appropriate file
in /etc/pam.d/:
{{{
auth sufficient pam_yubico.so id=16 debug
}}}
and move pam_yubico.so into /lib/security/:
{{{
mv /usr/local/lib/security/pam_yubico.so /lib/security/
}}}
Supported PAM module parameters are:
{{{
"id": to indicate your client identity,
"debug": to enable debug output to stdout,
"alwaysok": to enable that all authentication attempts should succeed
(aka presentation mode).
}}}
If you are using "debug" you may find it useful to create a
world-writable log file:
{{{
touch /var/run/pam-debug.log
chmod go+w /var/run/pam-debug.log
}}}
== Examples ==
If you want to use the Yubikey to authenticate you on linux console
logins, add the following to the top of /etc/pam.d/login:
{{{
auth sufficient pam_yubico.so id=16 debug
}}}
