User-Visible pam-afs-session Changes

pam-afs-session 2.5 (2011-07-25)

    Reset the SIGCHLD handler while spawning an external aklog program so
    that the application SIGCHLD handler isn't invoked when aklog exits.
    This unfortunately still means that there's a race condition that can
    cause children to be incorrectly handled if they exit while aklog is
    running, if the application's SIGCHLD handler is required.  There is
    unfortunately no good general solution to this other than building
    against Heimdal and using the libkafs interface to obtain tokens
    instead of an external program.

    Default to nopag on Mac OS X, since the operating system doesn't have
    PAG support.

    Fix error handling when krb5_appdefault_string returns without setting
    the result string.  Fixes a possible segfault during configuration
    parsing on Mac OS X 10.7.

    Update to rra-c-util 3.7:

    * Fail during configure if AFS headers are required and not found.
    * Add notices to all files copied over from rra-c-util.
    * Include strings.h for additional POSIX functions where found.
    * Fix detection of whether PAM uses const on FreeBSD.

pam-afs-session 2.4 (2011-06-08)

    Fix a memory allocation and initialization bug in the previous release
    that could result in a free of unallocated memory.

pam-afs-session 2.3 (2011-06-07)

    If there is no KRB5CCNAME environment variable set in the PAM
    environment but there is one set in the regular environment, still run
    aklog and use the KRB5CCNAME from the general environment.  This
    provides correct behavior in cases such as password-less sudo with the
    KRB5CCNAME environment variable preserved.

    Update to rra-c-util 3.6:

    * Fix compilation error with --without-krb5.
    * Update flags for make warnings to GCC 4.6.1.

    Update to C TAP Harness 1.7:

    * Add a more complete usage message and a -h command-line flag.

pam-afs-session 2.2 (2011-03-03)

    Stop returning PAM_IGNORE from pam_setcred if AFS is not available or
    if we're deleting credentials but the PAM module is configured not to
    delete tokens.  Instead, return PAM_SUCCESS.  This fixes problems with
    the Linux PAM library where returning PAM_IGNORE would cause
    pam_setcred to fail even if other modules succeeded.

    When using libkafs, close the ticket cache after obtaining tokens.
    Fixes a memory leak.

    Fix the error return statuses for pam_setcred.  Previously, on error,
    it was returning PAM_SESSION_ERR, which is a return status that's only
    supposed to be used for pam_open_session and pam_close_session.
    Instead, return PAM_USER_UNKNOWN or PAM_CRED_ERR as appropriate.

    Update to rra-c-util 3.2:

    * Check if the string being duplicated is NULL in strndup replacement.

pam-afs-session 2.1 (2011-01-23)

    The program setting can now include arguments to pass to the program
    to run to obtain tokens, separated by commas (or spaces or tabs if
    your PAM configuration syntax supports it).  If program is set in
    krb5.conf, additional options can be specified separated by spaces.
    As a side effect, program paths containing spaces or commas will no
    longer work correctly since the text after the space or comma will be
    interpreted as an argument.  Please let me know if this was a feature
    that you were using.

    Fix compilation of the pam_syslog and pam_vsyslog replacement
    functions for platforms whose PAM libraries lack those functions.

    Fix compilation of the embedded kafs layer for Mac OS X 10.6 and
    hopefully fix detection of whether AFS is present.  Thanks, Andy
    Cobaugh.

    Fix broken GCC attribute markers that may have caused compilation
    problems with any non-GCC compiler.

    Add a replacement for strndup if the system C library doesn't provide
    the function (such as on Mac OS X).

    Document that "nopag" should be added to the configuration on Mac OS X
    where PAGs are not supported.

    Update to rra-c-util 3.1:

    * Include supplemental libraries in manual Kerberos library probes.
    * Avoid warnings when probing for ibm_svc/krb5_svc.h.

pam-afs-session 2.0 (2010-12-29)

    If there is no PAG, create a new one and obtain tokens in pam_setcred
    and pam_open_session even if the module has already run.  This works
    around destruction of the PAG on Linux by keyring initialization
    modules, which can otherwise be hard to avoid due to the ordering
    between the auth and session stacks.  This support uses the
    VIOC_GETPAG AFS system call if it is available and falls back on
    analyzing the supplemental group list if it is not.

    Add untested support for the ioctl AFS system call methods on Mac OS X
    and Solaris 11 to the included kafs library, which is used if neither
    libkafs nor libkopenafs is available.

    Avoid returning an uninitialized value from pam_open_session when
    notokens is set.  Thanks, Ian Ward Comfort.

    pam_close_session now removes the module data indicating that tokens
    were already obtained so that opening another session using the same
    PAM handle will work correctly.

    pam-afs-session is now built using Automake and Libtool to bring it
    more in line with other software packages.  This means that it now
    relies on Libtool to know how to generate a loadable module rather
    than hand-configured linker rules.  This may improve portability on
    some platforms and may hurt it on other platforms.

    The symbols exported by the PAM module are now limited to only the
    public API on all platforms where Libtool supports limiting symbol
    exports.

    On Linux, if configured with a prefix of /usr (rather than /usr/local,
    the default), the module will be installed into /lib/security (or
    /lib32/security or /lib64/security if they exist) rather than
    /usr/lib/security to match the default PAM configuration.

    The module is now installed under $libdir/security, rather than a
    lib32 or lib64 directory, except for the special case of /usr.  To
    install into another lib32 or lib64 directory, use the --libdir option
    to configure.

    Fix a configure error when built --without-krb5.

    When debugging is enabled, log an exit status of PAM_IGNORE as ignore
    rather than failure.

    Update the embedded kafs code to rra-c-util 3.0, adding
    --with-libkafs-include, --with-libkafs-lib, --with-afs-include, and
    --with-afs-lib configure options for finer control.  Remove obsolete
    --with-afs-headers configure option (use --with-afs-include instead).

    Add an initial test suite that tests basic functionality and some
    options.

    Update to rra-c-util 3.0:

    * Add --with-krb5-include and --with-krb5-lib configure options.
    * Don't break if the user clobbers CPPFLAGS at build time.
    * Fall back on manual probing if krb5-config results don't work.
    * Suppress error output from krb5-config probes.
    * Search for krb5-config in /usr/kerberos/bin for Red Hat systems.
    * Add support for the old Heimdal krb5_get_error_string interface.
    * Handle the bundled Heimdal on OpenBSD without a separate libroken.
    * Add portability to systems with a broken snprintf or vsnprintf.
    * Update make warnings flags for gcc 4.4.

    Update to C TAP Harness 1.6:

    * Flush standard error before results in the C TAP library.
    * Improve test failure output formatting in some edge cases.

pam-afs-session 1.7 (2008-07-10)

    Return PAM_IGNORE instead of PAM_SUCCESS from all functions when AFS
    isn't available, and when functions are skipped due to the
    configuration.  We would like to do this in pam_authenticate as well
    (it would be much safer), but there is a bug in (at least) Linux PAM
    0.99.7.1 (and probably earlier) that treats this as authentication
    failure if the module is configured with [default=done].

    Fix Autoconf syntax error when probing for libkrb5support.  Thanks,
    Mike Garrison.

    If KRB5_CONFIG was explicitly set in the environment, don't use a
    different krb5-config based on --with-krb5.  If krb5-config isn't
    executable, don't use it.  This allows one to force library probing by
    setting KRB5_CONFIG to point to a nonexistent file.

    Sanity-check the results of krb5-config before proceeding and error
    out in configure if they don't work.

    Set an explicit visibility of hidden for all internal functions at
    compile time if gcc is used to permit better optimization.  Hide all
    functions except the official interfaces using a version script on
    Linux.  This protects against leaking symbols into the application
    namespace and provides some mild optimization benefit.

    Fix the probing of PAM headers for const on Mac OS X.  This will
    suppress some harmless compiler warnings there.  Thanks, Markus
    Moeller.

pam-afs-session 1.6 (2008-03-08)

    Correctly check the exit status of aklog and don't think acquiring
    tokens was successful when aklog failed.  Thanks, Douglas Engert
    and Chaskiel Grundman.

    Build with _REENTRANT set for correct errno handling in threaded
    applications on Solaris.

    Build with Kerberos support by default if Kerberos libraries are
    found.  To disable Kerberos support, pass --without-krb5 to
    configure.  The option to specify the Kerberos library location is now
    --with-krb5, not --with-kerberos.

    Add support for AIX's bundled Kerberos.  Thanks to Markus Moeller for
    the porting information.

    Define _ALL_SOURCE on AIX to get a prototype for vsnprintf.

    Add compiler and linker flags for AIX.  Thanks, Thomas Williams.

    Try to determine whether the PAM headers use const in the prototypes
    of such things as pam_get_item and adjust accordingly.  This should
    address compiler warnings on Solaris.  Thanks, Markus Moeller.

    Add additional documentation of interactions with the native pam_krb5
    on Solaris to README.  pam_afs_session needs to be run from the auth
    group, not the session group, with at least some services when used
    with the Solaris pam_krb5.

    Document bad interactions with pam_keyinit on Linux in README.

    Add example PAM configurations for Debian, Red Hat, and Solaris based
    on Stanford's Linux configurations and a Solaris configuration from
    Maciej Malek.  Hopefully I didn't break anything while merging
    examples.

pam-afs-session 1.5 (2007-09-30)

    Free the results of pam_getenvlist and the command-line argument for
    aklog properly.

    Don't de-reference a NULL pointer if memory allocation fails while
    parsing PAM options.  Thanks, Jason D. McCormick.

    Change lib to lib64 on x86_64 Linux to allow for the magical $ISA
    parameter in Red Hat's PAM configuration.  Hopefully this won't cause
    problems elsewhere.

    Fix linker determination when using gcc on HP-UX.

    Add additional debugging output when acquiring or destroying tokens.

pam-afs-session 1.4 (2007-05-10)

    Added the afs_cells configuration option which specifies the list of
    cells in which to get tokens.

    Ported to HP-UX.  HP-UX's PAM libraries do not support a separate
    environment used for the new session, so manipulate the regular
    environment instead.  Thanks to Joe Buehler for the port.

    Document using the module with Mac OS X, now that it's been confirmed
    to work with sshd on that platform.

    Support DESTDIR for make install.

pam-afs-session 1.3 (2007-04-11)

    Add a notokens configuration option which, when set, tells the module
    to only create a PAG and not to try to obtain tokens.  Based on a
    patch from Jason McCormick.

    When forking an external aklog, also close standard input and reopen
    it to /dev/null.  Normal aklog programs won't try to read from
    standard input, but don't connect their standard input to any stray
    file descriptor inherited by the process just in case.

    Make --with-kerberos and --without-libkafs work properly together.

    Improve diagnostics around token acquisition.  Thanks, Jeff Blaine.

pam-afs-session 1.2 (2007-03-24)

    Add support for calling the Heimdal libkafs functions for obtaining
    AFS tokens rather than running an external aklog program.  This
    support is the default if libkafs and the Kerberos v5 functions were
    found at build time and --with-kerberos was passed to configure.

    When retain_after_close is set, don't destroy tokens on DELETE_CRED
    either.  OpenSSH calls this when the session dies.  Thanks to Thomas
    Kula for the patch.

    Don't fail during configure if Kerberos libraries couldn't be found
    unless --with-kerberos was explicitly requested.

    Produce better error messages when Kerberos operations fail.

    Added --without-libkafs to force using the internal AFS syscall
    implementation and not link with libkafs or libkopenafs, even if the
    libraries are available.

    Fix installation of the man page when building outside of the source
    directory.

pam-afs-session 1.1 (2006-12-18)

    Add optional support for linking with the Kerberos libraries and
    obtaining configuration from the system krb5.conf file.

    Add the kdestroy option which, if built with Kerberos support, removes
    the ticket cache after successfully running aklog.

    Actually link with libkafs if we detect it at configure time.

    Fix a bug in reporting unknown options.

pam-afs-session 1.0 (2006-12-06)

    Add --with-afs-headers to configure so that the user doesn't have to
    know the right syntax for setting CPPFLAGS.

    When using gcc, link with -fPIC as well as compiling with it per the
    gcc documentation.

    Add additional configuration information for Solaris.

    Link explicitly against the Kerberos libraries by default when linking
    with libkafs, only relying on transitive shared library dependencies
    when --enable-reduced-depends is passed to configure.  This should not
    be necessary on any of the currently supported platforms but may make
    porting easier to systems with deficient shared library support.

    Support building on Mac OS X.  The resulting module isn't tested and
    may not work.  Thanks, Sebastian Hagedorn.

pam-afs-session 0.3 (2006-11-28)

    Compile in a default path to aklog if configure can find it on the
    path or if told the path with the --with-aklog option.  In this case,
    program is now optional in the PAM configuration.

    Use __func__ instead of __FUNCTION__ and provide a fallback for older
    versions of gcc and for systems that support neither.  Should fix
    compilation issues with Sun's C compiler.

    On platforms where we know the appropriate compiler flags, try to
    build the module so that symbols are resolved within the module in
    preference to any externally available symbols.  Also add the
    hopefully correct compiler flags for Sun's C compiler.

pam-afs-session 0.2 (2006-11-17)

    Add a man page.

    Add a fallback implementation of the AFS system call for platforms
    that use syscall, and add the signal handler protection for the
    k_hasafs probe for those platforms.  The PAM module should now build
    on Solaris without requiring libkafs or libkopenafs.

    Add an always_aklog option saying to always run aklog even if the user
    doesn't appear to have a ticket cache.

    Add an aklog_homedir option saying to pass -p <homedir> to aklog.
    This will obtain tokens in whatever AFS cells are required to access
    the user's home directory and can be used when something more complex
    than obtaining tokens in the local default cell is needed.

    Reopen stdout and stderr to /dev/null before running aklog so that any
    error messages from aklog don't confuse the calling program.

    Log a message if aklog fails, but return PAM_SUCCESS from the module
    whether aklog succeeded or not.  If we fail, the user may be kicked
    out of their session even though AFS tokens may not be necessary and
    only obtained as a convenience.  Obtaining a PAG is still required.

pam-afs-session 0.1 (2006-11-10)

    Initial beta release.

    Supports libkafs and libkopenafs in theory, but only the internal
    syscall layer has been tested.  No man page yet, and the program to
    run to obtain tokens must be specified in the PAM options.
