A few Q's I had: 1: what do you use pam_env for?
Geez. That's a tough one. I've no idea I'm afraid. This pam config has evolved since installation. I've not changed anything so it must be what openSUSE has decided is good.
The examples that are included show it being used for setting REMOTEHOST (holding where you locked in from), and from that, setting DISPLAY to point to the real 'remotehost' that you want your display redirected to. CAUTION:, if your session is NOT over a private ethernet, then you likely want your DISPLAY traffic encrypted, and forwarding through ssh is advised, but if you are on a private net, not having 'X' go through ssh can give a 3-5X performance boost depending on the speed your net and cpu's.
Given the above caution, if you want to keep your path to your original host open, calling pam_env.so as part of session (a bug as far as I'm concerned, -- added in 12.2 or .3, I believe).
2) Do you really want all that extra stuff to be "optional" in "session".
Your "pam_sss" handles auth -- I have In my common auth, I have: auth optional pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_winbind.so auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass
in common session, I have
session optional pam_umask.so #session optional pam_env.so debug #from debugging losing my DISPLAY... session required pam_limits.so session sufficient pam_winbind.so ### might pam_sss be sufficient session required pam_unix.so try_first_pass ## (and before pam_unix)
Is systemd optional for your sessions to work? Should it be listed as "required" or "requisite".
As for the ordering on the lines in your "auth" section...
You have the opposite of what I have -- i.e.
Again, it's what evolved. Interestingly, sssd is our replacement for winbind. It really helps on old hardware.
pam_unix you have as sufficient (should it be? it might not process or get to your pam_sss -- i.e. it looks like your local accounts can override whatever "sss" says (which may be what you want, dunno).
Justification for my choice: local access trumps a failing winbind, so while winbind (or sss in your casE) is sufficient, if it isn't there, it's like local-login.
Whereas in yourcase, it looks like if local-login works, then don't require or bother with network lookups
Yeah, that makes sense. We have: nsswitch.conf passwd: files sss If there's a local user by that name, she gets access first. For those users that need it, we have a local and a domain account e.g. lynn and lynn2. I think that in your config, lynn2 would take priority. I'm guessing you have passwd: winbind files? Come to think of it, we'd probably be better off your way around as most if not all logins on the clients are domain.
Don't know about the other details, but thought I'd point out mine, as I can see similarities...
Good luck! -linda
