This module provides an AuthProvider for PAM (pluggable authentication module) authentication.
PAM is the Pluggable Authentication Module system (http://www.linux-pam.org/)
It relies on python-pam (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-pam)
Configuration is via config/auth_conf.xml and the following options are supported:
- auto-register: True/False: automatically register an account for an unknown user. Default: False
- maildomain: string: all valid users fall within the specified mail domain. Default: None
- login-use-email: True/False: Parse the email address to get login details. Default: False
- login-use-username: True/False: Use the username argument for login details. Default: False
Technical note: when a user is not found in the database,
their username is the user part of a user@host email
address. After user creation, however, the username is
the user's public name.
- pam-service: string: The service name to use for PAM authentication. Default: galaxy
- use-external-helper: True/False: Run an external helper script as root with sudo to do
authentication. If False authentication is done
by the module directly. Default: False
Technical note: some PAM modules (e.g. pam_unix.so)
require to be run as root to authenticate users.
- authentication-helper-script: string: Absolute path to helper script to run for authentication. Default: None
There needs to be a config (in /etc/sudoers or /etc/sudoers.d)
that allows the galaxy user to run this as root with no password check
For example:
galaxy ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/galaxy/scripts/auth/pam_auth_helper.py
Configuration example (for internal authentication, use email for user details):
<authenticator>
<type>PAM</type>
<options>
<auto-register>True</auto-register>
<maildomain>example.com</maildomain>
<login-use-email>True</login-use-email>
<pam-service>ssh</pam-service>
</options>
</authenticator>
