9 .if !'po4a'hide' .B basic_sasl_auth
13 is an installed binary helper for Squid. SASL is configurable (somewhat like PAM).
14 Each service authenticating against SASL identifies itself with an application name.
15 Each application can be configured independently by the SASL administrator.
18 To configure the authentication method used the file
19 .B basic_sasl_auth.conf
20 can be placed in the appropriate location, usually
23 The authentication database is defined by the
28 authentication mechanism is used.
32 .if !'po4a'hide' .B pwcheck_method:sasldb
33 use sasldb - the default if no conf file is installed.
34 .if !'po4a'hide' .B pwcheck_method:pam
35 - use PAM authentication database
36 .if !'po4a'hide' .B pwcheck_method:passwd
39 .if !'po4a'hide' .B pwcheck_method:shadow
40 - use slightly less traditional /etc/shadow
42 Others methods may be supported by your cyrus-sasl implementation -
43 consult your cyrus-sasl documentation for information.
45 Typically the authentication database (
52 can not be accessed by a normal user. You should use setuid/setgid
53 and an appropriate user/group on the executable to allow the
54 authenticator to access the appropriate password database. If the
55 access to the database is not permitted then the authenticator
56 will typically fail with "-1, generic error".
60 .if !'po4a'hide' .B chown root.mail basic_sasl_auth
62 .if !'po4a'hide' .B chmod ug+s basic_sasl_auth
65 If the application name
67 will also be used for the PAM service name if
69 is chosen. And example PAM configuration file
