Authentication broker crashes while performing LDAP authentication (2017319)
On a host in which LDAP is configured with PAM and TLS is enabled, the authentication broker may crash while performing LDAP authentication.
Workaround:
Perform the following changes.
Disable start_tls.
Remove PAM from authsequence.
To disable the start_tls parameter
- In the
/etc/ldap.conffile, after ssl start_tls add the following line:ssl no
To remove PAM from authsequence
- In the
EAT_DATA_DIR/root/.VRTSat/profile/VRTSatlocal.conffile, delete pam from the following entry:"DefaultAuthSequence"="pam unixpwd nis nisplus"
