Hi

I banged my head on OpenLDAP -> SASL -> PAM for two days. The status of the documentation is really horrible. Until someone eventually fix that, here is for future reference what I had to do (the NetBSD system parts are out of topic, but I added them for the sake of completeness)

I wouldn't expect to find much documentation on this topic because in general it's the wrong thing to do. What distributed authentication system do you use that is supported by pam but is not supported directly by LDAP or SASL?

Also, postgresql comes to my mind. It supports pam, but not ldap directly.

Even more importantl<, OS Authentication on Linux (and other unices) supports PAM, but not openldap...
